Recommendations for dress alterations in Portland?

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a tailor/seamstress in Portland? I bought my dress at David's Bridal, but I have heard mixed reviews about their alterations. If anyone has had any experience with alterations at the one in South Portland, I would be curious to hear about that too!

    Sarah Michiwicz is amazing!! I just had my second fitting at her studio yesterday and was blown away! She makes your dress seem custom made. She is expensive, but is the best investment I made for my wedding! I cannot say enough good things!

    I am also using Sarah M. She was HIGHLY recommended. Already I am impressed. I go back for my second fitting next week and can't wait to see how she worked her magic! She is located in the Time and Temp building

    Thanks ladies! I saw a rave review for her on Yelp, so I had her on my list. Now I will definitely give her a call!

    Whatever you do don't go to David's for the alterations!!! It's a complete rip off!! If you need the hem shortened they charge $75...per inch!  I don't know of anyone in in Portland, but Robin Twitchell is in Norway (about an hour away) and she is REALLY good.
