Alterations (not Mary Catomy)

Emailed Mary yesterday to see if she could do alterations for my July 2011 wedding... she is already booked : (

Looking for other suggestions, Knotties!  I have heard Sue in Naperville a few times, but would love to hear other experiences with her.  I prefer west or north suburbs.

My dress will need to be hemmed, taken in a little and bustled.  However, there is no lace or beading so none of this should be too difficult.  I would also like the neckline altered to a sweetheart.

    I'd love to hear other suggestions for my bridesmaids (they live in Plainfield).

    Thank you too! :-)

    Not sure where your located but I am using "Stitch N Time" in Woodstock Illinois. The owner is the one that does the alterations and she has been in business forever it seems. She specializes in bridal alterations and even has a shop for ordering outfits for bridal party/prom... I am getting: top let out by bust, tie up corset instead of zipper put in, hemming, bought a dress bag from her, steaming and the total was a little more then 250.00 and it will take 3 ish weeks

    Wow---Mary is already booked for July 2011? I wonder if that means she's booked already for May 2011? Yikes!

    Linda Hill, located in Oak Park, IL!  She did a fantastic job on my dress, and she also will make a veil if you like.  You can find her information on Yelp, or PM me and I'll give you her number.

     I'm using Mary, but the woman from Kasia's Bridal in Irving Park is great, too!
