    sorry just saw this post --

    I heard wonderful things about Yun Yun Wong's quality and her reasonable price.  it won't be the cheapest, but it won't be like the bridal store prices either.

    http://www.yelp.com/biz/yun-yun-wong-san-francisco

    I personally went to her store thinking I want to re-alter the dress that I altered elsewhere, and she asked me to try it on and said it was altered perfectly, i just need to get used to the tightness.  She didn't try to rip me off and make money off me by encouragin me to alter my dress again

    I went to Lucy's in San Bruno. She was the head seamstress at Bridal Galleria for 15 years or so. She's (brutally) honest but won't rip you off. Check her out! Great reviews on Yelp too!

    Anne Ventresco.  She is my tailor, she works out of her home in the Oakland Hills (OMG amazing view from her workroom!) and is A. MAZING.  Seriously.  And so reasonable too!

    Yelp her.  She is a godsend.
