I'm getting my dress taken care of by Dottie Valentine. She lives up in the northern end of town, almost to Wake Forest, and does all the alterations at her home. She's had 25 years or more in the industry, and was the in-house seamstress for Priscilla of Boston before they closed. Her rates are very reasonable. I'm sure you can find her just by googling her name.
Hi! I went to Olga's Bridal & Formal Couture, 8300 Leesville Road, Raleigh, NC 27613-1001,(919) 462-9472 . She was amazing :) We had very little time since our engagement was only 6 months and she had to redo almost my entire dress! It needed to be hemmed, let out, the underarms were awkward so she fixed them, there was a rip in the tulle that she made look like it was part of the actual design. Becasue there was so much to my dress I had a huge train that needed to be bustled and she just made it PERFECT! I highly recommend calling her at least for a quote.
I recently made an appointment with Olga as well. She SUPER popular among NC brides.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
Does anyone know any independent seamstresses in RTP (N. Raleigh) area. I bought my dress up in CT where I am from but think it might be best to do it down here..
I would it love it if they are reasonable also!
Thanks!
