Hi Ladies,I've posted a few times here before, but here's a quick intro:  I'm Sarah, getting married May 30, 2010 in White Plains at the C.V. Rich Mansion.  FI and I currently live in the city.  He's from White Plains and I'm from NH and we met in college :-)Here's the situation: I bought my dress at Priscilla's of Boston in Boston, my dress just came in and I have to go pick it up.  It doesn't really make sense for me to keep traveling back to Boston for fittings, so I need to find somewhere in Westchester or Orange County for alterations. Probably won't need anything major, just a hem and bustle.  Any good recs?Thanks!!!

There should be more threads like this with other suggestions but I'm using La Robe by Leah she's on Central Avenue in Yonkers near Tuckahoe Road.

I used Mary & Patty in Thornwood and it cost me $150 for a hem and bustle, which I thought was reasonable. They did a nice job, but because I went in June and they were super busy with prom and wedding season so it took a while to get to my final fitting which cut it close since my wedding was in July. You would have a much different experience though if your wedding is in May. They do so much business, if that's any indication of how reputable they are!

I used Mary and Patty's too. They did a good job. For a bustle and sewing on my cap sleeves it was a little less than 100.
