Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend starting your alterations process 3–4 months before your event to allow enough time for fittings and adjustments. Custom work requires additional fittings, so we’ll need at least 3 months to complete those projects.

Our typical turnaround time is 4–5 weeks, and most clients need 3–4 fittings. To secure your spot, we encourage you to book your first appointment as soon as you purchase your dress—even if you don’t have it in hand yet! Evening and weekend appointments fill up quickly and are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Getting started early ensures we can create a timeline that works perfectly for you.

Thank you for choosing us to be part of your bridal journey! To request an appointment, please complete our Appointment Request Form—this is the only way to book with us. The form helps us create a custom timeline for your alterations, so please fill it out thoroughly. It only takes a few minutes!

As part of the form, upload front and back photos of yourself in your dress. These can be from your purchase day if you don’t have your dress yet. The photos help your seamstress prepare for your first fitting.

To provide an accurate quote, we need to see your dress and how it fits your body. This allows us to determine exactly what alterations are needed and ensure a fair estimate.

For budgeting purposes, most brides spend $500–$1,000 on wedding dress alterations, plus fitting fees. Non-bridal formal gowns typically range from $100–$300, depending on factors like lace or beading, which require additional time to adjust.

Quotes cannot be given over the phone, as seeing the dress in person is essential to understanding its construction and the necessary adjustments. Schedule a consultation, and we’ll provide a detailed quote tailored to your needs!

To ensure the best results, we recommend scheduling bridal fittings in the morning, before meals or water retention can affect your fit.

What to Bring:

Foundation Garments:
Purchase your shapewear or bra before your first fitting and bring them to every appointment. Even small changes in undergarments can affect how your dress fits and hangs.

Wedding Shoes:
Bring the shoes you plan to wear or a similar pair with the same heel height. This ensures the hem is adjusted accurately.

Consistency is key! Switching foundation garments or shoes between fittings can impact how your dress fits, so please stick with the same items throughout the process.
