Just Your Size


- Just your size -
You found your gown, but something doesn't seem quite right... it doesn't lay perfect here, and it feels a little loose there. What happened? It looked great in pictures on the models! I know it is something we all want to avoid, but guess what? Everyone may need some alterations on their dream dress to make it fit their unique and beautiful figure. The idea of alterations can be a little overwhelming, but to simplify the process Bridal Elegance has an expert alteration staff who can  make your gown fit and flatter you! Here is a list of what to expect and how to prepare for your alterations appointment since we all know it is best to plan ahead.

o Be sure to plan for alterations in your wedding budget. Unlike what we have heard from the "good ole' days," alterations are typically not included in the price of gowns. Alteration fees can vary depending on the amount of changes and complexity, but typical alterations necessary include shortening the gown, bustling, side seam work and shortening the straps.  

o When you arrive for your first fitting, it is essential to bring the undergarments that you will be wearing with your gown. Properly fitting lingerie will not only ensure a smooth fit, but will prepare you for a comfortable and confident walk down the aisle. Ask your seamstress about bust cups if you would like to forgo wearing a bra for more comfort.


o Remember to bring your shoes to your fittings to help the seamstress perfect the length of your gown. When picking out shoes, keep comfort in mind to ensure that your memories will be about the beauty of the day and not the extreme pain your feet were in as you limped down the aisle. You may also plan to change to more comfortable shoes for the reception, but it is always a good idea to have the gown hemmed to the perfect length for the ceremony and pictures. You do not want your gown too long or too short as you make your grand entrance and everyone turns to watch you walk down the aisle.


o After alterations are completed at Bridal Elegance, our alterations experts will take the time to press and prepare your gown for the big day.

With your gown custom fitted to your unique body, you are sure to have a wedding that is unforgettable!
