Alterations

So, I made an appointment with Olga because everyone says she is the best, but because of the amount of changes I am making to my dress, it requires 4 appointments.  I'm beginning to question whether it is worth the gas and time for me to drive all the way from Winston-Salem four times.

Is there anyone in the triad area that someone can recommend that does really quality work?

    You really can NOT go wrong with Olga.  Fortunately, I live in Raleigh but I would absolutely drive to her if it meant that I did not have to worry about how my dress will fit.

    She completely took apart my sister's dress and remade pretty much the entire thing and I just don't think I would be able to trust anyone else. 

    It is completely up to you but in my honest opinion - she is absolutely worth it!

    I get to see her tomorrow :)  yay!

    Beth recommended Elizabeth's Alterations in Greensboro, which is much closer! I'm in Winston as well and just couldn't see driving back and forth to Raleigh however many times. Even if Olga is a miracle worker, there are many fabulous seamstresses out there. I haven't had my appointment yet but I made mine for March with Elizabeth's.

    I just finished my alterations with Olga and traveled from Charlotte 3 times (2 fittings, 1 to pick it up) and I think she did amazing work.  Granted, I'm unemployed so driving that far isn't a huge deal for me right now, but I think she was worth the drive.

    What ever you decide to do will be great, good luck!
