Help! Plan A failed...

in New Jersey
I have an MOH gown (ordered from an OOT salon) that needs alterations for a wedding next month.  Plan A was Hollywood Bridal, but they said they are too busy this month and also short one seamstress.

Can anyone recommend an independent seamstress, or a store where they won't care that I didn't buy the gown there?  I live in Middlesex county, work in Essex county, and can also easily travel to Somerset or Union counties.

TIA!

    I know someone, but she is in Hunterdon County (Highbridge).  She does fantastic work...I can give you her name if you do not find someone closer.

    There is a lady in the East Brunswick area named Nezrin that does alterations.  I don't have her contact information but she was very popular here for awhile and people were very happy with her work. Maybe somebody has her contact information.

    Lydia's Magic Touch, 732-566-0101, in the Strathmore Shopping Center, Rt 34 in Aberdeen/Matawan is an independant that also does the alterations for True Love and Hearts For You. She altered my gown, both flowergirl dresses, my MOH's gown, my Mom's gown and my Grandmother's gown and every one was perfect.

    La Tailor has done serveral dresses for me in the past and I plan to bring my wedding dress there as well. She has gotten pretty good reviews on yelp.com and I think she has her own website. She's at
