Seamstress for wedding dress alterations?

tammythetiger

Hi all,

I bought my dress at European Bridal in Cincinnati but I live in Columbus.  They recommended a women named Jenny for wedding dress alterations. However, I don't know if I want to keep driving back and forth to Cincinnati for her.  Anyone have recommendations for alterations here in Columbus?  I have a Pronovias/White 1 wedding dress.

I'm using Monica Gwaltney and LOVE her. (My final fitting is this Monday, yikes!) I've seen a lot of girls rave about her on these boards over the past few months, too. She makes you feel like a million bucks and her prices are very reasonable. PM me if you want her info!

I bought my dress from Alan Ray and he did the alterations.  I am not sure if he does them if you bought outside the store, but he was wonderful!  I have seen a lot of girls here recommend Linda Hines.

I also had my alterations done by Alan Ray.

I have heard good things about Linda Hine as well. I think her contact info is in a past thread somewhere on this board. I know there is another lady that is highly recommend as well but I just can't think of her name right now.

I am having mine done by a friend of the family, who comes from a long line of seamstresses. She lives in Johnstown and does everything out of her home. She is also making my bridesmaid dresses and I went for a fitting (I live in SC, so I wanted to have some of it done before I come back to Columbus) and she had at least thee wedding dresses there. Her mother did everything for my aunt's wedding 17 years ago and my mom has all her pillows, etc for the house done by this woman. My brother had three suits of my dads tailored to fit him and she charged him $50. She is amazing. My dress fit perfectly last time I put it on (and I bought it too small!). She is amazing. PM me and I will get her info from my mom.

I found a GREAT tailor in Columbus a couple months ago. Custom Tailoring by Boris is awesome! Boris and his wife Marika own the shop. They are the most adorable couple and remember me by name whenever I walk in. Every time I go in the shop, there are bridesmaids dresses, wedding dresses, and mother of the bride/groom dresses hanging on the racks.
