Hi,
I'm in an out of state wedding on June 17, and need alterations on the bridesmaid dress. Does anyone know of a great seamstress or dry cleaning shop that does alterations on wedding gowns that could have it done by June? I just need almost a foot taken off the hem (I'm VERY short!!) and about an inch off of each spagetti strap. Im also not looking to spend a fortune - I'm on a tight budget. I'm looking in the Woodridge, Bolingbrook, Romeoville, Downers Grove, Lisle, Lombard, Darien, Naperville areas.

Thanks so much to anyone who has suggestions!!!

A good drycleaners is Marberry Illinois Cleaners in St.Charles, Phone number ###-###-####. They cleaned and perserved my wedding dress. They do a great job and use high quality cleaning products. It is a little more expensive, but the quality is better.

Last year I had a bridesmaid dress that needed alterations. I found a great lady in Plainfield,IL who does alterations out of her house for a reasonable price. I think she did a really good job in a short amount of time. The wedding was in June also.

Most places and wedding shops I found will charge you $60.00 and up no matter how much or how little work needs to be done on the dress. I think this is rather expensive.

If you are willing to go to Plainfield,IL,(she lives near Route 126 and 59)I can give you her name and phone number and she can provide you with more details. Note: She is usually pretty busy around this time with proms and weddings so you should call ASAP.

Let me know if you want her name and number.

Good luck with your search and the wedding!

I found someone in Lisle who is more reasonable that the dry cleaners and stores. She altered a bridemaid dress for me within a week and it needed a lot of work! Here is her info as it appears on her business card:
