I was on a budget so I bought a used wedding dress at a consignment shop and it needed a lot of work. </p> <p>Unfortunately, I have lost her card!<br /> The store where I bought my dress recommended her and can probably give you her number, the store's number is:<br /> 425-828-4502</p> <p>The info I remember is:<br /> Janet Hargett<br /> Sew Beautiful<br /> Located in Kirkland (works out of her home but did a great job)</p> <p>She did the following alterations for me:<br /> Enlarged the bodice<br /> Removed a section of the train that was damaged<br /> Designed a 8-pt bustle based on a photo I brought her<br /> Made the dress larger after I gained weight!<br /> Spot-cleaned the dress and pressed it<br /> Arranged for regular fittings as I kept changing size</p> <p>Let me know if you need more information, I have a lot of friends who have gotten married in this area recently and I'm sure they have contacts also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-seattle-tailor-for-wedding-dress-hemming#post-85468 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 18:23:39 +0000 sparkettauw 85468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah - thanks Loulou.

Ideally, someone budget-friendly who is skilled at dealing with pleats. Any ideas?<br /> And everyone else - The V-neck is deep on the dress on me, any thoughts on how to add a small simple or ruffly piece to add a bit of coverage?</p> <p>Thanks!! </p>
