HELP I need a great alterations person/seamstress!!!

I just bought a gorgeous couture wedding dress that was a sample. It is 2 sizes too big and I need a really good seamstress in San Diego. Has anyone used someone really good??? My dress is all lace and I definitely need someone experienced!
Any suggestions would be great!

    Rose Anderson is amazing!  And she's a really good price.  Here is her website:

    Thanks! I read great reviews of her on Yelp. I wanted to get a recommendation from the Knot too so that is great! I think I will try her. Did you have a difficult alteration? I'm concerned because my dress is 2 sizes too big and all lace so it is semi difficult and will take someone with lots of experience.

    Mine is quite simple (building a bustle and 3 inch hem), but she has many dresses that require a lot of work like reconstructing the entire top or bringing it in or out a few sizes.  She's very responsive to email, so I'd just write your requirements in an email.

    I highly recommend Kiki from Kiki's Alterations. 

    She took in my lace dress several sizes and did the bustle and did an awesome job.  FWIW, I bought my dress at M Bride in La Jolla and I understand that Kiki does the alterations for most (if not all) of the alterations purchased at that bridal salon.
