Alterations

Any suggestions for wedding dress alterations in the Triad area?

I just had my dress altered at Elizabeth's Alterations in Greensboro, off of Guiford College and Friendly.  I've used her before for normal clothes and a bridesmaid dress, and she does tons of wedding dresses.  I think her prices are a bit on the high side, but I was willing to pay higher for someone I already knew and trusted.  PM me if you want to know what i paid and for what.

I posted below earlier, about my dress being done and have pics in there of the bustle.  The dress fits like a glove and she took the sides in, added a belt/band inside the dress that attaches too the inside front and clasps at the back to keep the dress in place, hemmed a bit, and added a 22 pt bustle.  It looks great!  If you want any more info, let me know.

I know you said the Triad area but if you're willing to travel to Cary, Olga is the best!  I had my bridesmaids dress taken in, hemmed, and cups put in, and my sister had her dress bustled and cups put in and she is fantastic!  I don't remember her pricing though, but I think it was pretty reasonable for her quality.

My sister used Olga and did a fantastic job!  She basically re-made her dress bc she bought it as a sample and it was huge!  And it was only about $200 - my mom could not believe it!

I will definitely be using her!  I've actually already called her and got my name in her calendar for next year...bc she is that good!  She books up super fast!

I just got my dress back from Olga.  She did a great job in such a timely manner.  I was very happy with her!

I used Olga and was very happy with her work, but I do reccommend calling her early, I made my August appointment back in March and she was squeezing me in then.

Holly is right....call WAY IN ADVANCE!!!  I made my September appointment in April, and she was also working me in, too.  And when I got there for the first fitting, she asked me if I had an appointment and why had I made it for so close to my wedding date.  I tried explaining to her that she gave me that appointment back in April, and she set the date, not me.  She had to put some other brides behind because of me, and I didn't care too much for that!  I know I wouldn't have wanted to be put on the back burner like that.  She really does tend to take on a little too much.  Her phone rang off the hook all three times that I visited her....I don't know how in the world she keeps up with everything!
