THINGS TO CONSIDER

 

Alterations are typically necessary to achieve a perfect gown fit-this ensures total confidence on your big day and flawless pictures for a lifetime.
Bridal gowns are usually made on a size chart system and your gown is ordered based on basic measurements.We strive to special order your gown as close to your size as possible so as to do minimal alterations. Once the gown arrives it needs tailoring to accentuate your unique body shape. Alterations can be creative as well, this is when we add customizations and unique elements.
Keep in mind, not everyone will have the same alterations experience; some will have very little work done and some will have quite an overhaul.

Alterations pricing is determined based on the amount of work as well as the materials of the gown.
Our seamstresses prefer to begin altering 6-8 weeks before the wedding or bridal portraits, however we can accommodate any schedule.

Pricing is determined during your fitting.

Please call 214-902-0800 to book/change your alterations fitting.

Alterations fittings cannot be booked online.

 


THE PROCESS

 

Once your gown arrives we'll reach out and schedule an alterations appointment.

During the 1st fitting our seamstress gives you the breakdown of work and price- using your wedding/travel dates as our timeline marker ( we are able to accommodate most all timelines). At that time you can decide to go forward with the alterations or take it home.

The average alterations timeline is 2-3 fittings, of course when doing more than the standard work i.e. customizations/re-designs, more fittings are necessary.

Pricing is determined during your fitting.
