Do you know a good place to get alterations?

I'm trying to find a place where I can have my wedding dress altered (the shop I bought it from was going out of business, so unfortunately I am unable to get it altered there.) Ideally, I would also like to have a bolero jacket made.

I live in Frederick, MD, but all places in the Washington DC metro area would be appreciated (parents live in Rockville, and my fiance and I work in Fairfax, VA - so we're pretty familiar with a large area.)

Thank you so much for any leads you're able to offer. I prefer places that come with a recommendation rather than just looking up alteration places on line.

Answer
Yes, I know a wonderful place in Bethesda, called Chevy Chase Custom Tailors. (Despite the name, they do women's clothes as well as men's.) I'm a guy, and they have done some "impossible" jobs for me, things that no one else would touch. They are also fast. I can't say enough good things about them. Here is their Web site: http://www.chevychasecustomtailors.com/

But if you can't make it there for some reason, I have another suggestion: go to pretty much any good quality store that sells bridal gowns. They all have someone to do alterations, of course, and most (maybe all) will take what is called "customer goods." In other words, you can bring in your dress, even though it came from another store. They usually charge extra to work on a gown from somewhere else, but they certainly know how to fit a gown.

I hope this helps. Congratulations on your wedding, and good luck!!

Where can I get SUPER cheap plane tickets?

Money is a little tight right now because I'm having to buy senior pictures and my cap and gown and other senior stuff. I got accepted into University of Denver, which was my #1 choice. But, I'm really not comfortable going to a college that I've never even visited. Do you know of any airlines that are offering really cheap tickets (I mean less than $110 round trip from Washingto D.C to Denver, or Richmond, VA to Denver? Easy 10 points. I need a MIRACLE. All suggestions are welcome.


Answer
It will be extremely unlikely to get a ticket that cheap. Northwest Airlines has cheap flights from Dulles to Denver. The cheapest you can get in $170.39 with taxes in that price. That is round-trip, and for one adult. The flight departs from Dulles, and on return, arrives at Reagan.

Wed, Feb 11 Depart: 6:04 am Washington, DC (IAD) Northwest Airlines 1611
1 stop
Arrive: 10:22 am Denver, CO (DEN) Northwest Airlines 1771

Wed, Feb 18 Depart: 11:05 am Denver, CO (DEN) 1 stop
Arrive: 6:51 pm Washington, DC (DCA) Northwest Airlines 558



**The stop on the first flight is in Detroit DTW**
***The stop on the return flight is in Minneapolis/St. Paul MSP***
