Does anyone know of a good (and not too expensive) seamstress to do my alterations?

Try Leighanna Reynolds at leighanna@maybesew.com, in Carrollton, or Becky Fowler in Irving, at beckyfowler1@tx.rr.com
My MOH recently got married and wanted to find an independent seamstress because the quotes she got from the bridal shops in-house alterations person were ridiculously high ($425 for just a simple hem, side seam and bustle).
She saw Becky and Leighanna through another wedding chat page. They are the alterations people that knotties are always
recommending. My MOH met with Leighanna and Becky but picked Leighanna based on location. She told me that Leighanna's quote was very reasonable ($215 for the same work above). that she is very sweet and her studio is extremely professional and she was easy to set up appointments with.
Leighanna actually gave my MOH a written price quote (a big deal because I have a friend that had another independent alter her gown but never put the original quote in writing. What was originally quoted as $150 wound up costing her $300 for alterations!) One of comments about Leighanna was that she charged a bride even less than she quoted her, because when she took the gown apart, it was less work than it first appeared. Nice to see there are some honest wedding people that don't take advantage of brides!
I recently bought my bridal gown and have met with Leighanna about altering it. Depending on where you live, I would meet with Leighanna and Becky, get price quotes and decide who you want to work with.
