Met With Olga Yesterday

mgbarbry

Like all of you have said I loved her. She is great. I unfortunately didn't take any pictures yesterday but go back saturday for next fitting and then pick it up the following saturday. I recommend her to anyone that needs alterations, she is so smart when it comes to alterations.

By the way if you haven't booked with her yet and your wedding is this year DO IT NOW, she showed me her calendar yesterday and its already pretty much booked up through october and she already has 9 brides for next year!!!

I asked this question a month or so ago. Here is the <a href="http://forums.theknot.com/default.aspx?path=http://forums.theknot.com/Sites/theknot/Pages/Main.aspx/local-wedding-boards_north-carolina_questions-1st-fitting-olga" target="_blank">thread( <----clicky)</a>. I had a lot of helpful answers.

Now that my dress is done I can tell you about my experience. My total was $325 which was more than I expected but she did more than I was expecting her to. She took boning out of the cups (which was complicated b/c it had a lot of layers), took the straps in (which had a lot of bead work on it), hemmed both layers of the bottom, and did a 6 point bustle.  She did a great job and was so easy to work with. She also put my mom in her place at one point (in a half joking way and half not) which I thought I was hilarious. If only Olga came dress shopping with me and my mom. :)

Olga lives off Leesville Rd in Raleigh. Her number is 919-462-9472. Like I said she is pretty much booked through October so if you need her for this year, call now!!!

I kind of paranoid because my dress doesn't get in until June and I get married in October!

You're fine. I'd go ahead and book an appointment with whoever you're going to go with for like a day or so after your dress is supposed to arrive (possibly a week, incase it runs late).

My dress came in a little less than a month before my wedding. All was fine :o) Don't stress, it'll be ok!
