I had my Maggie Sottero altered by Susie and Cecilia, with the fittings all going smoothly. I only ended up needing the top of dress to be adjusted. The hook for the train was so well disguised to the dress we struggled to find it on the evening of the wedding. Outstanding friendly service that I would recommend to others.
Approximate cost: $200
Went to buy a speciality battery and was going to be charged for a battery I can by on eBay for $3 for 2 batteries. Cobbler plus wanted to charge $24 which I noted last time I bought the same battery from a store was less than $5 which response was well I can get $80 for a battery replacement in this with a pressure test and wasn't prepared to offer a more realist price. Will not be going back.
Anna, Thank you for your lovely comments. I took note of your difficulty finding the bustle hook that we disguised and now have started tying a tiny ribbon to the fastener so that the dresser can find it. Obviously it must be removed before the ceremony!. We wish you all the best in the future. Susie and Cecilia
