    Olga is a board favorite here. She did the alterations on my wedding dress as well as on a few friends dresses and we all loved her work.

    I also found her prices to be very reasonable.

    how much in advance do you need to book with Olga??  I live in SC now but my friends are in Raleigh and I want to use someone dependable to do my alterations!  Also, do you have any "examples" of her pricing?  I don't think I need too too much done but sure don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on it.  Thanks :)

    Olga books up pretty fast so if you know when your dress will be in, I'd go ahead and call her to make an appointment.

    Honestly, the pricing depends on the material of your dress and how much you're getting done. I don't remember exactly what the cost was, but I do remember that it was much cheaper than other places or chain stores, plus Olga came with amazing recommendations for other girls who had used her.

    I called Olga in February, my wedding was in October.  I filled her last available time slot for October weddings. Call early.
