Maryland-Baltimore

Recommend an Alterations Seamstress?

Knotties! I'd love any feedback that you could provide:I have already purchased my gown, and as you all know, the sizing is such that I ordered it larger than actually needed. However, I have just heard that the salon where I bought the dress does not have the best seamstress, and quite a few brides have been upset at their alteration results.While my dress has not come back yet (It's due back by the end of the year), I am a firm believer in "word of mouth" reviews and recommendations. And I don't want to take a chance on this seamstress at all. So, if anyone in the Baltimore area has used or know of someone who has had great results from a seamstress, would you mind sharing? I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!!

    Diana Adams, Sheryl Kelm, and Isabel Donnelly are the board favorites. All get great reviews. Review in my bio for Diana.

    Isabel Donnelly is fabulous - located in Ellicott City. A little pricey but so worth it. Let me know if you need her contact info.

    SHERYL KELM!! I would honestly trust her to make my dress. She i ridiculously wonderful and so polite and professional. She books up pretty quickly. When we went she already had 2 or 3 appointments for 2010

    Depending on where you live, it may be far to drive, but Elena at Bridal's by Elena is spectacular!  She's in Severna Park and she's pricey, but she's excellent!  GL!
