    I am looking for a seamstress to do major alterations to my dress.  I want to revamp the dress style.  When I purchased my dress, the dress shop recommended a woman in Sleepy Hollow, IL.  Now, I lost her contact information and my dress shop has closed.  Does anyone know who I'm talking about? 

    Do you ladies any have other recommendations for a wedding dress tailor?  Suburbs or City.  I would like to keep costs down but I don't want to take any chances.

    Thanks!

    I used Ms. Couture in Lincoln Park. I didn't have major alterations to do, but the work they did was great, they were reasonable, and they had other really great reviews on Yelp, which is why I went with them -

    Good luck!

    Hope this doesn't find you too late!

    A great seamstress that is in West Dundee near you (also referred by my bridal shop that closed...The Brides Room)

    Gwen Yildirim, 650 Somerset Ave, West Dundee, IL 60118, cell: 773.322.2169, home: 847.844.3703

    I used her years ago to alter 5 BM dresses in the past and she did a fabulous job on my friend's wedding dress.  I would use her too if she was still in the cityFrown, so I just went to Ms. Couture for my 1st fitting.

    Good Luck!

    @Ms. DC.  I JUST saw this.  That was the lady.  But I already made an appointment w/Ms Counture and had my first fitting.  I couldn't be happier w/Ms. Couture!

     

    Thanks I'll make sure to file this away for future reference.
