Wedding Dress Alterations

YOU WON'T OVERPAY

Transparent pricing up front and posted on our website, that we'll go through while you are being fit. We don't mark up alterations for wedding gowns, they are the same prices we charge for non-wedding gowns receiving the same alterations.

FAST TURN-AROUND TIME

Most wedding dresses need between 2-3 phases of alterations, and some need more/less. We always recommend starting the alteration process 3-5 months in advance if your situation allows for it, but we work on dresses that need to be worn within a few days without hesitation if we can accommodate!

Our normal speed for each phase of alterations is typically 3-6 weeks (which fluctuates throughout the year) and we have rush options as fast as next-day when needed. We don't have requirements for when you need to start your alterations, we'll work with you under nearly any circumstance, but we highly recommend coming in as early as you can.

Schedule your first fitting below, our team will work with you to schedule each subsequent fitting separately.

QUALITY STANDARDS

Review your dress with us before you take it home, and we'll correct any potential issues with the work within a few days.
