Found my Gown - Now Need Seamstress

So I went to the FIlene's Basement sale long after everyone else had done the whole "running in" thing and found I gown I absolutely love ($499 too - can't beat that!).  My next question is who you ladies recommend for seamstresses.  I do not want to go to where my sister went (that ended disastrously).  Also my friend recommended someone that she raved about, but I don't want to go all the way up to NH.  Any suggestions for alterations in the somerville area would be great.  Thanks!

    I used Adam and Eva Tailors in Medford. Eva did a good job, but I wasn't happy with the price. She charged me $300 to take in the waist, add a bustle, and sew in cups. I was especially disappointed I used her on the recommendation of another knottie, who got more work done on a more complicated dress, for $150.

    So, she's good, but be prepared to pay for it!

    125 Bridal in Plaistow, NH wanted $300 for, granted a lot of work done.  I don't know how good they are because I decided to shop around more first.

    Someone at work recommended Pins and Needles in Danvers (I think, or it might have been Beverly).  I haven't got a price from them yet so if you go, please post back on here!  :)

    Maria from Sabella Couture on Tremont Street (by Loews) is AMAZING.  She makes dresses, own the shop, and alters dresses that girls bring in.
