Definitely will!!

One of my biggest concerns about ordering online was the alterations part. My MOH ordered her dress from Shoreham, so that's why I am going there. I know Bridal Suite (?) in Huntington will alter a dress they did not sell but I don't know prices.

Can you tell me her phone number and how much it costs? Also, is 2 weeks usually enough to get the dress altered? Thanks!

Least of your worries. If you ordered froma a bridal salon you would have had to worry because I heard their prices are outrageous. I'm getting mine online and I spoke to a seamstress near my job and she says the bridal salons really hack up their prices for alterations so a lot of people come running over there. She's in Brooklyn though.

I'm not sure what the cost will be, but I'm using either Rosalba in Kings Park - Julz, you know where she is, on Main Street? or someone in Port Jefferson.

Yes I know where she is. I didn't know she did wedding dresses. I am actually looking for a place to get my dress AND all the bridesmaids altered. We are ordering from the commack wedding center but I dont like how they do alterations.

I would call Robin from 'Designs on You' in Port Jefferson. I met with her last fall and really really liked her; you can go to her house and see her stuff and there is no pressure. I don't have her # on me but I'll search on line. Back in a minute.

BTW _ I got her name from someone on the boards, so you could do a search to see someone else's opinion too.
