I am in a wedding on Oct. 25th and I am due with my first baby on Sept. 2nd. Does anyone know where I can go for alterations. Maybe last minute alterations, because I have no idea what size I will be over a month after I have this baby.

What can I do next?

Where do you live? I am in the South west side of Naperville. I have over 20 years of alteration experience, and worked in bridal for more than 12 years.
So, it depends on if you want to drive to me.

Hi JB,

It looks like you live in Aurora and work in Glen Ellyn. I just went to Glen Ellyn Tailor on Duane near Main for the first time. Galena is very nice and has reasonable pricing. I'll bet that if you stopped in and talked to her about your situation that she may be able to assess if she'd be able to help.

I have heard great things about her, including that many girls go to her for alterations for prom and for dance dresses. I believe she said that she has had her business for 7 years.

Oh my! Who would ask you to be in wedding so close to your due date ? I feel for you :) I don't know where you live but I would check your local dry cleaners. They usually have someone there all the time so you can ask them if that's the case ahead of time . Or where you bought the dress they should have a seamstress who would be able to alter it a week ahead of time in a maternity fashion. Good luck with the baby !

Yes, I have a wonderful woman who I know who does alterations out of her home. She's absolutely THE BEST and does it at reasonable prices. Her name is Mrs. Janis - ###-###-####. She's from Poland originally, and has been doing alterations as a career for 30 years.

My whole family loves her. Tell her that S. Coronado sent you. She works out of St. Charles and it is worth the trip.

Good luck!

S.
