    I'm using Stitches by Pauline, and she is fabulous. I've also heard great things about Tony King. I don't have any contact info with me, sorry, but if you google them, you should be able to find them no problem. Good Luck!

    I hear Tony King is great, he has mixed reviews on his treatment of people though, so he is a bit blunt from what I can gather. He just says what he is thinking and I hear great things about his work.

    I hear Pauline is also good. Those are the two I hear the most about online.

    Good luck.

    For difficult jobs, I recommend Kim Dao Alterations.  Don't be fooled by her DIY website that her son made for her because she is truly an expert among experts, imo.  She's taught alterations classes for professional seamstresses to troubleshoot difficult situations like yours.

    Pauline is fabulous. She has been able to fix everything my family, my in-laws, and I have taken to her for years now.

    I'm using Pauline.  She's great.  She worked on my dress until it was perfect and really made me feel relaxed.
