I got my dress made by Aideen Cross in Rathangan in Co. Kildare which would be handy enough for you in Tullamore. She is truly superb.
My sister is getting married in March and bought the bridesmaids dresses online from the USA. The dresses arrived last week and don't really fit anyone properly!
Once the tears stopped (hers) I suggested going to my dressmaker for advice and she said that she can do the alterations and all that business no problem.

We got some elbow patches done in Zip Yard before, I wouldn't recommend them. I'm sure it's different seamstress over where you are from where I am, but it just means they don't maintain a high standard of workers.

Go somewhere professional that has a good reputation for wedding dresses, and good luck.

Location won't suit you but my friend got her wedding dress altered in zipyard Dún Laoghaire. I have got few bits done and happy also, plan on getting my own wedding dress altered there. Might be no harm to ask your local zipyard to provide contact details of 3 previous brides who got der alterations der. If they interested in your business and confident of service provision they should have no problem.
