Wedding Dress Alterations

lhobson87

I got my dress at Priscilla of Boston less than 15 days before they announced they were shutting down.  My dress should arrive to Priscilla's in December, and my wedding is September 15, 2012.  I'm trying to decide if I should have their seamstress, Ms. Dottie, alter my gown when it comes it (she's going to be working out of her home).  Has anyone worked with her?  I didn't know about Olga, but apparently she's amazing judging by the reviews on the Raleigh and North Carolina boards.  Should I go with Olga instead?  Does Olga also do bridesmaids dress alterations?  I've chosen J. Crew dresses for my bridesmaids and they don't do alterations.

I used Olga and she was absolutely amazing!! I'm pretty sure she does any and every kind of alteration. I think it'd come down to personal preference/cost and ease of going to appointments (boston vs raleigh).

Thanks NCSUPsych!  Priscilla of Boston is actually the name of the store in Cameron Village in Raleigh.  The whole brand is called Priscilla of Boston because I think that's where they opened their first bridal salon.  The whole nationwide chain is going out of business which is why their seamstress will be going out on her own.  I ordered my dress from their store in Raleigh 15 days before they suddenly announced they wrere going out of business.  Rereading my post though it definitely sounded like I went all the way to Boston for the dress!!  I think I'm going to give Olga a call based on so many reviews on her!  I overheard some of the salesgirls at Priscilla's talking about Miss Dottie being "fussy" and "nothing's ever her fault" (in a sarcastic tone).  Thanks again!!
