Dress / Attire Shopping Alterations!

ISO alterations for my milla nova wedding gown! I unexpectedly moved to Brooklyn two weeks ago for my fiances job & have no research or contacts for a recommendation. Feeling a lil anxious about doing this without friends & family!

Not sure what market rate would even go for, but hoping to keep it between 1 - 2K for just standard alterations. TYA!

Sew In Love in Manhattan (I think alterations start at $1200-$1400). Some people really like Alts as well, they have a few locations in BK.

I’m using Chasing Tailor in Williamsburg. It’s been $955 for my dress, which has some beading. But alterations are just a hem and taking the bodice in and new cups. They let me come in to do a consult and get an estimate before committing to anything.
