NJ Seamstress?!!! Need Help!!

Where are you located in NJ? My bridal salon gave me a list of recommended seamstresses in the area and I just picked one yesterday- Maria's in Ewing, NJ. Do you know anyone in the area (work, friends) who's recently been married or has a friend who has? They may be able to recommend one. Otherwise, call a few local bridal salons and see if they'll make recommendations. I don't think you need to take it to a bridal shop to get it done well.

The bridal shop where I bought mine has a seamstress that they use. She has been doing a wonderful job on mine, but it's a bit pricey.

What designer is your dress and where in NJ? There's quite a few of us girls here from NJ, give us a little bit more info and I'm sure somewhere here can give you some ideas.

I don't know where you are. My dress was a nightmare when it arrived and I found a tailor in Weehawken, NJ. He was recommended to me as the only one who could fix the dress and he did miraculous work at a very reasonable price. I drove 45 minutes to get to this guy but it was worth it.

I've also heard good things about Ally's in Hoboken. It's a bridal shop, but she'll also do alterations on gowns purchased elsewhere.

I live in Union County, by Cranford and Westfield but my wedding venue is in Hackettstown. My dress is by Sophia Tolli !

Ally's in Hoboken

Your a bit far from me my dress was done in jay west in Haddonfield and she did a wonderful job

Is Allys in Hoboken really expensive?

Yeah I'm down in Monmouth/Ocean county... can't be of much help down here.

What's the name of it!! I googled, and they are all stunning!! Mirri looks just like mine.

This is my dress! its the Magnolia <3

Gorgeous!!!!! Drop dead gorgeous.

It depends on what you find expensive and what you need done. I'd give her a call. You can just make an appointment with her and she can give you an estimate.

Thank you @arborday!

@out the window I'll definitely call, thanks a lot!

According to one of these weddingwire reviewers who shopped around, her alterations were cheaper than other places she checked. She also seems to get really good "value" ratings, which is usually the first thing to drop in WW reviews.
