in Illinois-Chicago
So I picked up my dress yesterday, and my alterations lady backed out of doing the alterations!
You guys have been super helpful in the past, so I am turning to you for help again.
I need help with referrals - I have 1 month left - the wedding is 6/26/11.
I live in Evanston, but willing to travel!!!
Thank you a million in advance!

    Cori from Stitch of Bliss...from the first appt I had to getting the dress back was 3 weeks. She's not the absolute best with communicating but she got the job done in a short amount of time and it turned out great! She will also come to you!

    Taylor Wilson of TWStyle is amazing! She is making me a custom dress from scratch and of course can do alternations no problem.  She has done many alternations for all different types of clothing.

    She's in Chicago and will travel to you or you can travel to her =) Tell her Julia referred you.  Here's her website: http://www.taylorwilsonstyle.com/ and her contact info@taylorwilsonstyle.com.  Good luck =)

    Cori of Stitch of Bliss worked wonders on my dress! I hope you can get a hold of her.

    how expensive have you all found your alterations? my dress just came in (yay!) and it fits perfect - just needs a bustle and hemming (seriously only 1/8 inch but needs it...) and the dress shop dimitras quoted $500! seems outrageous. any advice on what yours cost? i am hoping to tone up a bit, so may end up needing a little taking in at the end...we'll see.

    I paid $150 or $175 I can't remember. I thought that was a huge deal b/c Cori altered my dress from straps to sweetheart and strapless, hemmed and bustled my dress. I was quoted $300 by Eva's in Oak Lawn where I purchased my dress.

    I wouldn't recommend Cori from Stitch of Bliss. She over charged me by $100 and when I confronted her about the error, she didnt return any of my calls or emails.

    She has no integrity.

    I had emailed Cori and left her voicemail (twice) about 6 days ago - no response. She could have at least called/emailed back and said she had no availability, if that's the reason she isn't responding.
