Ask for recommendations on your local boards. Look at reviews of people who do alterations if it's a business listing. Ask at your local sewing machine store! (Pfaff, etc.) They know who does good work in the area and may have a name for you! Only the seamstress can answer how much time they need. Check with your local dry cleaner as they may have someone they use!
