You find the perfect dress (and it's a little more than you're comfortable paying for) and now you must have it altered and have someone you don't even know start cutting into it! It is scary, but Beatrice did a beautiful job with my wedding dress. She's very methodical, first fix the bodice of the dress, return in a week and try on the dress again. Next fix another seam and try the dress on again...until the very end when she hems the dress. It's a gradual transformation that is done very professionally. It took approximately 3 to 4 fittings until the dress was done and I couldn't believe the dress could look so much better. I was too big for the dress and needed three extra inches added to the waist - not a problem! What a relief! She was up front about the cost of the alterations (and I was up front about what needed fixing) and she remained on schedule. She constantly made suggestions and even offered to do many little details for free.
