I need a expert tailor /alteratoins specialists. I have been given a 1946 vintage wedding dress.I need altered?

I have been given a gift of a 1946 wedding dress. I am getting married soon, no date set, but engaged. I 1st wanted a 2009 sexy modern dress. But when I received this dress as a gift, I fell in love. The dress was purchased in 1946 for $98.00 at Sax’s 5th Ave. The lady who wore this dress and her husband celebrated their 59th anniversary last week.I believe this is a lucky dress. I need it altered but, I don’t want to trust this dress to just any tailor. I need a Specialist in antique tailoring and restoration. The dress is in surprisingly okay shape, it just needs a lil help. Any ideas/experts you may know of. Help appreciated. Thank you =)

if you use yahoo’s search feature to look for services like tailors or seamstresses, they have it set up so people can post reviews of places. so if you were to yahoo search for “seamstresses in inserttownhere” all sorts of stuff should come up and a lot of them may have reviews on them to kind of give you a feel for who does the best work. if they have a website, it will often give you some sort of indication of what kind of work they specialize in. from there you can pick and choose the best reviewed ones, then go scope them out in person. ask them questions like “do you have any expreince altering vintage wedding dresses?”

my brother’s now wife wore the same dress her grandmother wore. she found a great seamstress just by looking online and then going and interviewing them personally. the woman they found did a great job for a super low price, and the dress looked fantastic.
