Found my Gown - Now Need Seamstress

abilifyme

So I went to the FIlene's Basement sale long after everyone else had done the whole "running in" thing and found I gown I absolutely love ($499 too - can't beat that!).  My next question is who you ladies recommend for seamstresses.  I do not want to go to where my sister went (that ended disastrously).  Also my friend recommended someone that she raved about, but I don't want to go all the way up to NH.  Any suggestions for alterations in the somerville area would be great.  Thanks!

Who did she rave about in NH?  I am looking for one up there.

I used Adam and Eva Tailors in Medford. Eva did a good job, but I wasn't happy with the price. She charged me $300 to take in the waist, add a bustle, and sew in cups. I was especially disappointed I used her on the recommendation of another knottie, who got more work done on a more complicated dress, for $150.

So, she's good, but be prepared to pay for it!

125 Bridal in Plaistow, NH wanted $300 for, granted a lot of work done.  I don't know how good they are because I decided to shop around more first.

Someone at work recommended Pins and Needles in Danvers (I think, or it might have been Beverly).  I haven't got a price from them yet so if you go, please post back on here!

Maria from Sabella Couture on Tremont Street (by Loews) is AMAZING.  She makes dresses, own the shop, and alters dresses that girls bring in.
