Bridal ALterations

FITTINGS

Consultation Fitting: This is the time for us to get to know you and your alterations needs! Once you try the dress on, we’ll discuss the changes you’d like and measure and pin your gown accordingly. During the fitting process, we’ll discuss an estimated cost for each alteration and explore some different options.

At the end of the consultation, we’ll go over the exact cost and have you sign our bridal alterations agreement. We’ll then schedule your next fittings, and we require a $50 down-payment, which goes towards the total cost of alterations.

Follow-up Fitting: Every bride gets one or two of these. Adjustments are all a part of the alterations process, so it can be expected that you’ll need a few here or there, especially if there’s any fluctuation in body measurements. This fitting allows us to check the fit without completely finishing everything off so that we can be more flexible when making any necessary adjustments.

Final Fitting: This is the pickup appointment to try on your wedding gown with all the details completely finished and to make sure you love absolutely everything about the look, feel, and fit of your dress. If there’s any last minute details or fitting changes, we always leave enough time when scheduling to accommodate your needs. Once we’ve done everything we can to make sure you’re 100% thrilled with the outcome, you’ll complete payment and walk out of our shop with the dress of your dreams!
