Hi ladies!!  I'm researching seamstresses in the area for when my dress comes in May.  Did any of you have a great experience with one in the Denver-Metro area??  I can get the alterations done at Amanda's Bridal and Tux (where I got my dress) but I know Bridal salons are usually more expensive.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions! :)

This gal is really well known:

And was so booked up I couldn't get an appointment with her. . .I went with Judy at 'Alterations by Judy'.  She is SWEET as pie. . .and did a great job with a few minor things I would have done a smidge different - you have to be VERY clear although that is true of any alterations.  Her prices are great.

Thanks, Allie and Mountain!  I've been wondering about this, too.  I bought my dress online at netbride, and I had no idea who to take it to for alterations.

Lisa at Chiyo's Bridal will also do alterations on dresses not bought at her salon - she does a great job!

I had a great experience with Dee Dee from The Wedding Seamstress. She is located in Old Town Arvada near I-70 and Wadsworth.

How much did you guys spend on alterations and what all was done?  Trying to figure out how much to budget for.

I paid just over $200 for:

3 fittings

Seam adjustments to fit

Shorten the lining

An 11 point French Bustle (the bulk of the cost, it was like $10/point or something)

I was told my bustle will be approx $30 - I'm not sure what else I'll need to have done quite yet....

I just tried clicking on the link for Alterations by Judy and was directed to some hacker site... weird!

OMG Allie you're right! ! !   When I posted that link her site worked :(  

Scary!

I thought I had her phone number handy too but I don't. . .bummer.  She is a great seamstress!  Somebody else here used her - MrzLem I think?
