Alterations Help!

in Minnesota-Minneapolis and St. Paul

Any suggestions for alterations?  I called the Wedding Shoppe but since I didn’t purchase my dress there I can’t use them.

    a lot of girls on here have used Louise Kegley...

    also, Sharon at Twin Cities Bridal Alterations.

    I had mine altered out of state, so I can't offer any personal experience for someone here.

    Off of recs from this board, I'm using Brenda at Amazing Alterations.  Haven't had an appointment yet, but I've heard great things about her!

    Wedding Shoppe no longer has in-house alterations, I believe... but they do have a list of recommendations!

    That said, I can't say anything but good things about Louise Kegley.  She did a fantastic job on my dress and was very reasonable compared to what I've heard many other folks charge... for that reason, she is very popular and has a schedule packed with brides!  It can be a bit challenging to get ahold of her unless you call in the morning or later in the evening.  Your best bet would be to contact her during "off-season" if your wedding timing allows for it!

    I used Amy Jane Stariha after seeing her recommended by someone who lived OOT and ended up needing last minute alterations a couple days before her wedding.  She did an amazing job and my dressed was finished within 2 weeks of taking it to her.  She does the alterations out of her home and is VERY reasonably priced.  If you live in the St. Paul area I would definitely recommend her.

    YAYYY I'm so glad people are using Brenda from Amazing Alterations - SHE IS FABULOUS! You will LOVE her! Just a doll to work with, SO inexpensive and does just fantastic work!!! She is an amazing seamstress and I'm a huge perfectionist. I got everything done (8 pt bussle plus strap reconstruction) for under $80. She's amazing, I'd HIGHLY recommend Brenda! Tell her Lauren W sent you! :)
