    Ladies, I am a Chicago newbie and yes we are getting married in 5 months! My wedding budget has been kicked way down because of the move but I have my dress! I am in need of some alterations, thank-god I did not start the process any earlier or it would have had to be shipped! I have read about a few alterations people online like:

    Stitch of Bliss?

    If anyone has a recommendation- would love to hear from you, or just post it! Thanks!

    I went to Ms. Couture - on Clybourne. She was great, quick, talented and not too expensive. I know that there have been a few posts about Chicago seamstresses - I just can't remember them all. Maybe a woman in the 'burbs named Mary? Here are a few quick threads: http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/need-a-seamstress-for-wedding-dress-alterationshttp://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/dress-alterations-in-chicago-the-city-not-suburbs

    Mary Catony... I'm going to see her next week.  She's got lots of good yelp/weddingwire reviews.  I'll tell you how it goes!

    I'm going with Mary Catomy as well! I'm not getting married until September, but I called her right before the holidays just to get on her calendar -- I was paranoid :) I heard such awesome things about her, and the estimate she gave me based on the alterations I need was about half the cost of what the bridal shop was quoting me. I won't be getting my alterations done until after your wedding, so I guess I'm not much help, but just wanted to throw in my two cents :)
