Juliannes did my dress alterations. And they were a great value - I bought a sample dress at Filene's "Running of the Brides" event this past fall. The only problem? Dress was a size 12 and I am a 2 on top and maybe a 6 on the bottom.
They re...moved the beading, cut that dress apart and drastically altered both the back and side seams, added cups in the dress, shortened the straps, cut at least 6 inches off the bottom to hem it, added a bustle, and put the beading back on. For $200 dollars total. I think I had 6 different appointments to piece that dress back together and do adjustments until it fit like a glove. I didn't even know *if* that dress could be adjusted to my size and not only did they do it, but they did a great job!
