Help! Any recommendations for wedding dress alterations in Chicago?

Hello ladies,

I purchased a Priscella of Boston dress off the rack right when she began closing her stores.  I got a great deal on the dress but still spent a good amount.  For the most part, the dress fit at the time with the exception of the hem being too long.  Now I have lost some weight.  I need my dress hemmed and taken in.  I was also hoping to slightly alter the dress and make the top of the dress into a sweetheart neckline.
 
I recently made an appointment at the Dress Doctor (in the Water Tower) for my dress alterations.  However, since making the appointment I have read some scary reviews.  The Dress Doctor has several great reviews but the less favorable ones are concerning.  Similarly, I looked at some alternative options including Miss Couture but I found the same thing - lots of favorable comments and then several negative comments.  I don't want to gamble with my wedding dress. 

I also stumbled upon Mary Catomy in Lincoln Park but she is booked through August.  I initially had a tailor for the alterations who worked for Priscilla of Boston.  However, this was in Houston and I moved after purchasing the dress.  

Does anyone know of someone else to go to besides the Dress Doctor that does exceptional work?
