Found my dress for HALF the price online. Need help

So, I found my wedding dress (that I'm using for dancing) for half the price online. Now, I know to be wary of online stores, however, RK will beat the price and it will ship directly to me. No frills/no alterations. My question is, does anyone have a good seamstress to recommend to do the alterations? Long Island or NYC?

I fit almost perfectly into the sample size they had at RK. Anyone have any idea what the sample sizes they put out at RK? Would it be an 8? Also, at 5'4' would my length be 55 inches or 58 inches?

Thanks!!!!

I answered on your other post, but to save you the trouble of looking, their sample sizes are all different, but I would say that most are between 10 and 12. But you can call and ask what the size is of style # XYZ that they have on the rack. They will tell you.

I'd be careful with measuring yourself. Each designer goes by a different measurement chart oddly enough. Also, if your dress needs to be cut hollow to hem, as mine did, you need to incorporate the heel height and slip size.
