No! Go on wedding wire, I just wrote a review. She made my dress WAY too tight, and kept insisting it had to be so tight and would stretch out. Well, it never stretched out and I couldn't breathe all night. Also the hem was too long, at my second (and final) fitting she said it would 'puff out' when the dress was pressed. Well it didn't and I had to carry it all night and people kept stepping on it when they tried to dance with me. For almost $500, you can do better! Or if you do go with them, then be very firm about getting what you want. I think once she got paid she didn't want to do any more work (like shortening the hem a little more).

But I am only one person., everyone else on wedding wire raved about it. Maybe I was just not forceful enough with my issues, and making her change them.

However, lots of girls on here get alterations done for 1/4 of the price, and they love the outcome, so if I were you I would shop around.

ETA: Fumi did my dress, and it did look nice, everyone raved about it. And she was able to order extra lace and sew it onto the top for me. But I really don't know how hard that is.
