Anyone use a place in or near Racine for their alterations? I bought my dress about an hour from Racine in McHenry IL. The dress is still there and I don't mind driving there for alterations, but it would obviously be more convienient to get them done in Racine/Kenosha if possible.

    Thanks Missie. Can you tell me more about her--I tried to google her but couldn't find anything. Will she store your dress for you until the wedding? Prices? Anything other info you think might help?!

    She is amazing!  And she will store your dress until the wedding.

    Cost for me to add a bustle to my dress, pin some places, add a corset back (my dress has a zipper) and hem is about $100. 

    She runs the business out of her home and it's out on Hwy 20 towards Waterford/Dover. (if you hit the Dover Inn coming from the East, you've gone too far)

    I highly recommend her.  I just felt so comfortable with her and she had some really good suggestions.

    Thanks!  You will LOVE her - she's just fabulous.  And she always made me feel so wonderful.  You can tell she loves what she does.  Her driveway is a little muddy when it rains, FYI.  :)

    I'm so excited for you - only 3 months away!  It will fly by, honesly.

    I just started an advice thread to share some of my wedding observations with you!
