Go2Bella was recommended to my by my dress shop, Formally Yours. My dress was purchased off the rack and needed a lot of work!
I was originally a little hesitant to take my dress to Isabella because I was afraid of what it might cost---th...inking maybe I can find a super budget seamstress closer to me. I am so glad that I didn't!
My dress was a size 12 and needed to be taken down to more of a size 8 and the top and 6 at the bottom. Isabella did a perfect job of getting the fit down pat! On my first fitting she simply looked the dress, pinched a few areas along the side seams, and took some notes (she of course pinned and hemmed the skirt as well). On my next visit, voila! The bodice of the dress fit like a glove! She had a temporary hem in the skirt that she adjusted and it was ready to go and perfect on my third trip when I picked it up.
In addition to making the bodice smaller, she also hemmed the skirt, shortened the train, and completely rebuilt the modesty panel on the back of the corset that was missing, and steamed it. All in less than 8 weeks.
Through my there trips to the shop, I learned that Isabella at one time created her own custom couture gowns (some of which I actually found online for far more than I could afford!). She now owns the alterations shop that she maintains with the help of her sisters from Romania. It appears from looking at her work that she does some amazing things with taking old dresses and making them amazingly new and modern. So even if my review doesn't persuade you, her experience should!
Long story short, I would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs dress alterations of any kind, but especially the big jobs if you want to know that they are going to come out perfect.
