I'm trying to find a good seamstress to alter my wedding dress somewhere near the Salem NH area. So far 2 that I'm considering are Margaret's Alterations in Salem NH and Dressmaking by Dolly in Hudson NH. Has anyone used these before? Is there anyone else that you'd recommend in the area who's good and can give me an affordable prices?

    I know that Emily used Dress Making by Dolly and was very happy with her work (and the price!).

    I just Margaret and I loved her.  Her prices were really really good compared to other prices I had heard about.

    My wedding dress is at Dolly's right now.  She's holding it until I'm ready for my alterations.  But, she's altered my friends wedding dresses (yes, she had two) and all of her bridesmaid dresses (I was one of them) and they came out perfect and the price was too!!!!

    May I ask what you had done to your BM dress and the cost?  Although I used Margaret for my wedding dress, Hudson is far more convenient since I just moved to Nashua.

    I know she shortened, fixed the straps so they wouldn't fall, and I think she put cups in the dress.  I'm pretty sure I only paid $50.00 for everything.
