Alterations
How Does It Work?
We'll start with a consultation appointment!
Let's take a look at your dress and assess what alterations need to be made. A non-refundable consultation fee of half your total cost of alterations is due at the time of your first appointment which will then be credited to your total.
From there, we'll schedule a second fitting to make sure the changes we made feel good. As long as you're happy with the alterations that were made, you're free to take your gown home! If there are more tweaks to be made, we simply schedule a third fitting - and as many fittings needed - until your dress feels perfectly tailored to you.
It's best to schedule your first fitting at least 3 months prior to your wedding date. This will ensure enough time in case of extra fittings closer to the wedding date are needed.
How much does it cost?
Alterations costs vary by dress.
For bridal gowns: the typical cost for alterations is $400.
For bridemaids and formal gowns: the typical cost for
alterations is $150
Price will go up based on the style, material, complexity, and alterations needed for your gown. Cost does not change for the amount of fittings needed, however cost could rise should any additional drastic tailoring be needed.
Dress and veil steaming is included with all costs!
What if I lose/gain weight between appointments?
Contrary to popular belief -
We do not alter our bodies to fit the dress, we alter the dress to fit our bodies.
Weight fluctuation is a normal part of being a human. Don't worry, we'll plan fittings to allot some time for extras if needed.
The goal is to work with your body and your dress to make you feel beautiful on your big day. Your dress should be perfectly tailored to you.
