It's unfortunate that Manda0808 had a bad experience with Perfect Alterations. I had a similar situation with my bridesmaid dress for my best friend's wedding and Perfect Alterations saved the day.
On a recommendation from a local bridal shop, I took my bridesmaid dress to a seamstress six weeks before the wedding. Less than a week before the out-of-town wedding, I finally got the dress back and there was no way I could wear it in the wedding as it was. Not only did the dress still not fit, the seamstress used blue thread when my dress was green.
I tried a couple different shops to get the dress fixed and they all said that there wasn't enough time. Two days before I was supposed to leave for the wedding, I took my dress to Perfect Alterations. They said they could fix the dress and get it done before I had to leave.
When I picked up my dress on my way out of town, it fit perfectly! I don't know how they did it in such a short time, when they had to undo the work of the previous person, shorten my straps, open one arm hole and take in all the extra material at the zipper of my dress. Basically, they reworked the top half of my dress in two days.
I highly recommend Perfect Alterations and I will be using them in the future. They did a great job for me on a short time frame. It was also less expensive than the first seamstress I used whose work had to be fixed.
