I can't say enough amazing things about Barb. She literally saved my wedding dress!
I had purchased my dress at a major chain and they completely botched the bustle - the bustle points clearly showed on my train through puckered material and the bustle itself worked against the way the dress and just looked awful. And this was all one week before my wedding (I had a 2-month engagement). Panicking and near tears I searched for a reputable seamstress to see if the dress could be fixed - I got ahold of Barb and she told me to come in that same day. She quickly saw all the issues with the bustle and had it tacked up into a beautiful bustle within 30 seconds...the way the dress was created to have a bustle too! It was an asymmetrical silhouette that needed an asymmetrical bustle - and Barb knew that immediately. After she showed me what it should look like and calmed my fears about the dress she sent me on my way and told me she would have it done within a few days.
When I came back in and tried it on - it was perfect. She had removed and steamed out the bustle points in the middle of my train and had redone the bustle completely - plus fixed a couple other minor issues. I once again felt like a beautiful bride in my dress!!
Barb totally saved my wedding dress and I can't express enough my gratitude for her work! She's a true expert on dresses and alterations. If you need something done, be sure to go to her!!
