Other seamstresses?

I hate the days when the search isn't working well for me....

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for alterations other than Fay Carraher and Chris O'Hare... it seems like those are the two big favorites almost everyone on the Boston board uses, but Fay Carraher is unavailable for my timeframe (due to a family wedding) and I think Chris O'Hare might be too far a haul for me (I live in Metrowest) -- and given the post below about a death in her family, obviously not a good time for me to be calling her, anyway.

The only other person I've heard lots of recommendations for is Anahit in Newton, but since she's also generally considered to be at the pricier end (and I already spent more on the dress than I'd planned to), I'm hoping there might be some other recommendations that I didn't pick up on in the flood of accolades for Fay C. and Chris O.  Thanks for any suggestions!

My wedding's in September, so (looking at your ticker) you might be okay on that front.  Good luck!

I know Camilla's in Arlington has a good seamstress, I think her name is Violet.

Oh, here she is!

I know another bride who used her was very happy with her work!

Maria at Sabella Couture alters dresses not bought at her store (I know most wedding dress shops don't do this.)

Thanks for the leads!  I hate asking stuff I know has been covered a gazillion times, but sometimes the search won't give me results from just the Boston board no matter what I try.

I'm also using Maria at Sabella (didn't buy my dress there) and she has done a great job.  She can give you an estimate on pricing when you bring your dress in.
