When to Begin Alterations



We're often asked when alterations should be started. While every situation is different and we have yet to come across one of our customers that we could not accommodate regardless of timing, a good general rule is to begin your alterations 6-8 weeks prior to your event.


What is the schedule for my alterations?


Alterations are done by appointment only, so be sure to call ahead. We have alteration appointments available during the day, evening, and even on Saturdays.


Complete alterations typically include a first fitting, where all preliminary pinning is done,

a second appointment (or "refit") at which time you and your seamstress will ensure that the proper fit has been achieved,

and a pick up appointment a day or two before the wedding where you will take the finished and completely pressed gown to your event.

From time to time there is a need for an additional appointment to accommodate minor adjustments made at your refit appointment.


Alteration appointments can easily be made by calling, emailing, or clicking on the link below.
