I'm the matron of honor for my good friend who lives in Seattle. She actually doesn't go on Wedding Bee (*gasp* the horror), so I'm posting for her.
She got her dress out in Olympia, but she lives in Kirkland. The dress shop doesn't do alterations and the woman only gave alterations recommendations for people in Olympia and Tacoma. My friend is looking for a place closer to the city or near Kirkland that has a good reputation for doing alterations on bridal gowns.
There is a shop in Kirkland that does tailoring and custom dresses. It's called Lake Street Tailor. I haven't been there, but I heard very good things about it while I was dress hunting. Good luck!
I've heard great things about Darcy Martin. She's in the Lynnwood/ Mill Creek area. I also hear she's not the cheapest, but does amazing work. Here's her Project Wedding Info:
I went to Darcy Martin. I didn't have anything major done, but I thought her rate was about the same as what I would have paid at a bridal salon. The reason I went to her was because the bridal salon I purchased my dress from could only do alterations one day out of the week and most of the appointments open were in the middle of the day and I didn't want to take 2 hours off work to go up there and get fitted, etc.
I had a bustle created, a hem all around and the halter strap shortened for $250. She's really nice, super quick and accommodates different schedules.

Any help would be great!
Thanks!
