Do you know of anyone that's hiring in the Philadelphia area?

Does anyone know of a good WEDDING dress tailor in the West Chester, PA (Philadelphia) area?

  • I am looking to buy a wedding dress on-line at www.bestbridalprices.com. The gown is much cheaper than in the store. I am just worried that if I buy it on-line I will not be able to find a tailor that can alter my dress. Does anyone know of a good wedding dress seamstress in the Philadelphia metro area (or even better West Chester, PA?) Any help PLEASE!!!

  • Answer:

    They don't advertise the fact, but many stores (maybe most of them) will make alterations to what they call "customer goods." They charge a bit more than for "store goods," but you get the same service. So call Macy's, Lord and Taylor, or any good store and ask for the seamstress. You will find something very quickly. I don't know for sure if the bridal specialty stores will also make alterations to customer goods (I've never had to ask) but you can call David's Bridal or one of the other big ones and find out. I bet they'll do it, too. Worst come to worst, don't tell HAVE to tell them you bought online. After all, it could just be your cousin's dress that needs to be altered to fit you. Good luck, and very good wishes for a beautiful wedding and a beautiful life together!!

I got married October of 2006 & my best friend got married in June 2007... so, I have been to soooo many bridal places!! lol My best friend bought her wedding dress at the same bridal shop that I bought mine, but since we had issues with their alterations for my wedding, she wanted to take hers somewhere else to get altered. My husband & his whole family use a place called European Tailors in Norristown for anything & everything that they need altered. (My husband is from that area) So, we took her dress there & it came out beautiful. The owner, Stavros "Steve", is SO incredibly nice & helpful. He also did the alterations on the bridesmaids gowns & the flower girls dresses. And his prices were good too. Here is the information: European Tailors 335 W. Johnson Highway Norristown, PA 19401 610-277-3683 I live in Drexel Hill & my best friend lives in Secane. When we would go there, it would take about a half hour. (Depending on if there was any traffic on the blue route or not) So, it's not really far. But, trust me, from my experience it's worth a little bit of a drive to know that your dress is going to be done the right way. (They also rent tuxedos there, in case you will need those too) Hope this helps & Congratulation on your wedding!!!
