Seamstress in Raleigh/Cary/Apex

Ok ladies here's the situation.

My wedding is May 28. My dress alterations will be completed the first week of May and then the dress will be shipped to my venue (I live in San Diego and wedding is in Angier). I keep having visions of arriving to my venue and something happening to my dress. So I need a seamstress in the Raleigh area to be "on-call" in case something needs fixed. I know Olga is a board favorite but she also books months in advance.

Does anyone have any recs or advice? Should I even worry about this or am I being silly?

    I'm stumped about what could happen to your dress after your final fitting that would cause you to need another seamstress here.  I think you're over thinking this one.  Any way you can travel with the dress to help you not worry about it so much?  I hear a wedding dress makes a good carry-on.

    You're probably not wrong about me overthinking this. We're flying Southwest to save money on baggage. Smart, huh? Yeah, well there's zero space in the overhead compartments after luggage is in there and they don't have first class so no closest space.
