bridesmaid's dress alteration

[la-ti-da.livejournal.com]

i feel like this has been asked before, but i can't find it.

i need to get a bridesmaid's dress altered near davis. i have gotten simple alterations done by eleni, but wasn't sure how she fared in the formal dress area (she doesn't come off as super fashionable but i could be wrong).

also, if you can approximate how long and cost, that'd be great.

thanks, all- i will probably take it to eleni then. i just wanted to make sure b/c i have no idea how this dress is supposed to fit me so i'm relying on an expert to make it somehow look good.

I take bridesmaid dresses to Janette in Arlington. She is right on Mass. Ave, is visually similar to Eleni, but wears sexy shoes :) She knows the whole formal-dress drill (bust pads, a hem that won't trip you when you dance, etc.) and was far cheaper than other places I called.

Here's her info:

Janette Tailoring & Alteration
805 Massachusetts Ave, Arlington, MA 02476
(781) 646-8410

Also she's open after 5 and on Saturdays!
