mothers wedding sash sewn onto daugthers dress - Who do I trust to do this?

karlaluchanne · February 2012

I am getting married on September 22nd and I always wanted a sash but was not thrilled at the ones at davids. I found the perfect one off my mothers wedding dress. It's satin and it's an off white/creme color. I decided to pin a brooch in the middle (the brooch is over 100 years old) It's beautiful.

Who do I trust to sew the sash onto my dress. I can't tie it cause I have a corset back and it will take away from that. Davids Bridal will not do it, considering it's not one of their products. (one of my bridesmaid works at davids, i like them so don't tell me they are bad)

Does anyone in the Cincinnati/Dayton area recommended anyone that does alterations/sewing for me to go to and that I can trust? II don't want my dress or the sash to be destroyed. I'm sure some brides understand

Try posting this on your local Cincinatti Board (under Local Wedding Boards to the left).

Ditto pp, get a good recommendation from your local board or word of mouth from friends/co-workers who might have recently gotten married and had alterations done by an independent seamstress. It's a lovely idea and nothing too complicated so I'm sure whoever you find will do a great job.

I agree with seeing if someone on your local board can make a recommendation.

I'd also ask your family members, maybe an aunt, grandmother or someone else has some sewing skills? They will understand your situation and wanting to take care.
