Initial Consultation and Fitting Schedule

Your first fitting is a chance for us to meet you and your wedding dress. We suggest making this appointment as soon as you have your wedding date. It's best to book it 2-3 months before your big day. This gives us enough time for alterations, including trying on accessories and browsing our event dresses, and makes sure your gown fits perfectly ahead of time.

During this first meeting, we will talk about how you want the dress to fit. We will take accurate measurements and pin the dress to match your needs. We will also check how the dress is made and talk about any alterations or design changes you want.

After this initial fitting, we will help you set up more fittings based on how complex the changes are. We usually suggest another fitting to make sure your dress is just right for your special day.

Step-by-Step Guide from First Fit to Final Touches

After your first fitting, our skilled seamstresses will carefully do the changes we talked about. Then, we’ll invite you back for a second fitting. At this fitting, you can try on your gown to make sure you are happy with how it fits and the changes made.

During this second fitting, we can make more adjustments if needed. We understand that changes may come up at the last minute, and we are here to help you throughout this process.

Our standard alteration process includes:

• Hemming and bustling
• Taking in or letting out the bodice
• Adjusting straps or sleeves
