Hiya!
Had to take a quick moment to post about my first alterations appt I had yesterday afternoon. Both my MOH and I took our dresses to Amazing Alterations in Anoka. Seriously, the moment I opened the door I knew I'd love my experience. Brenda's studio is so gorgeous and I just about died when her little Chinese Crested dog greeted us at the door (some of you may think eww a dog around the clothes but her studio is spotless and the dog leaves everything alone). Anyway, Brenda was extremely friendly and funny and I could tell she knew her stuff! She pinned both our dresses up and analyzed this and that...and gabbed with us all the while.
At the end she handed us her estimates and my jaw dropped. I was stunned! Amazing pricing...I was fully prepared to pay about 50% the price of my dress for alterations and it was only a 1/4!
My MOH also found a beautiful bling-y necklace and earring set to wear with her dress. Also a great price.
I am SO floored! I can't wait to see our dresses in another month! Definitely recommend even if you don't live near Anoka (I live in Mpls)...well worth the drive.
