Jack the tailor, on Mass Ave, right outside Porter Square. He's a little pricey, but he did a great job taking in my strapless silk bridesmaid dress three years ago; he even moved the boning in the lining so that it'd fit me better. I think it was like $60 or $70? And when I was there for my fitting a woman was dropping off a huge armful of Chanel suits she picked up "cheap" somewhere for him to alter.
When my partner bought a high-end suit at Drinkwater's, the proprietor there sent the suit alteration work to Jack too.
Jack's very nice and calls all his customers by name. His hours are kind of limited and often not as posted, so have his phone number handy and call before you stop by. You should definitely ask him if he will be able to have your dress done in time, but he doesn't fudge once he promises to get something done.
