Question 1

When should I book my first fitting?

Accepted Answer

We recommend booking your first fitting about 3 months before your event. Of course, if needed, we can usually accommodate a quicker turnaround time! Just give us a call.

Question 2

What is the consultation fee?

Accepted Answer

There is a $40.00 consultation & fitting fee for all wedding & formal gowns. One of our expert seamstresses will go over in detail what needs to be done to have your dress fitting perfectly for your big day. You will be provided with an exact quote at this time prior to completing any work. If you do choose to have your gown altered with us, the $40.00 consultation & fitting fee will be credited toward your total alteration cost.

Question 3

How many fittings should I expect?

Accepted Answer

There are typically 2 fittings but can be more depending on the alterations needed.  Your second fitting is our first chance to see your altered gown on you!  If any minor tweaks are needed, this is when we will book a final fitting.

Question 4

How much do alterations cost?

Accepted Answer

Wedding gown alterations vary a great deal depending on the extent of the work that needs to be done and the gown itself, i.e., fabric/material, number of layers, beading, etc.  You can expect a range from $300-$1000. Once we see you and put together a plan for your gown at your first fitting, we will provide you with an exact quote before we begin working on your gown.

Question 5

Do you alter other formal gowns such as bridesmaid dresses, mother of the bride/groom and grad gowns?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We typically require 2 fittings for these dresses (depending on the gown there could be more) and about 6-8 weeks notice.

Question 6

What should I bring to my first fitting?

Accepted Answer

We kindly ask that you bring your shoes and any undergarments that you plan on wearing to all your fittings.
