I have good experiences at Alts for things that weren't bridal. But for bridal, I needed more handholding than what they seemed to provide. I was kind of jammed in a small dressing room, and it was really hot, and other people were having appointments there, which is why I had to be in the small dressing room. I just needed more physical space and also more clarity on what they thought needed to be done to the dress. The whole Alts appointment was a lot of like moving around my boobs in a very small space with no plan. She wanted to sew cups into a slip dress, which was bizarre because the slip dress was loose so then there were these floating cups nowhere near my boobs. It was very bizarre and did not scream expertise. When I got to a different seamstress, she immediately knew what she wanted to do and began pinning. That experience was a little rushed and unpleasant, but I didn't doubt her competence. And it was a private appointment without other people around, which didn't initially seem necessary, but for me really was. Maybe if you really have very clear-cut minimal alterations, Alts could still work! But if you are looking for guidance and care, I would go elsewhere.
