repost from 08...looking for a seamstress...
i figured maybe some of you 07 girls might be able to help...this was my post from 08...
Hey ladies...dont know if you remember, a little while back i posted about my dress....i went to a seamstress in manhattan who wanted to charge me 1000++ to do my dress (only for taking in and hemming) (not even including bustle) and didnt even make me feel 100% confident that what i wanted done would come out the way i would like. I left the place in tears.
My dress has a great deal of detailed beadwork on the bodice and all along the hemline of the skirt and train. The dress needs to be taken in on the bodice, spaghetti straps removed, and possibly have some sort of undergarment or corset sewn in (that will hold me in place). The whole skirt needs to be taken up as well which from what i have heard is a detailed job b/c of all the intricate beading on the bottom....and i might need a layer on the skirt removed and made into a veil (possibly).....then i will also need the bustle.
Any recommendations of a GOOD seamstress that is experienced in dealing with wedding gown alterations of this detail?? i would prefer not to go to just a regular tailor...i am really looking for someone experienced in this area that i can be confident with. Please offer me any recommendations, and reasons why you recommend would be helpful as well. I would REALLY appreciate it as i am really hoping to make the dress of my dreams work for me! TIA!
