When should I schedule my first fitting?
Bridal alterations typically take 6-12 weeks or more. Suits, bridesmaids, moms and party dresses take 2 fittings in 2-4 weeks.
What do I need to bring to my fitting consultation?
You just need to bring your wedding dress or suit and a pair of shoes with the heel height you plan to wear. We have everything else you need, including shapewear, corsets, and even sticky cups you can try with your look. If you have special undies or accessories to try with your dress, feel free to bring those as well. We ask that you have your wedding shoes by your 2nd fitting.
How many fittings do you typically do?
Most wedding dress alterations require 3 fittings. For restyling, we may have as many as 6. We do the final fitting a week before the wedding to allow time for final tweaks. Suits, jumpsuits and LWDs often only need 2 fittings.
How long does a dress fitting take?
Most consultations take an hour. Subsequent fittings take 30-60 minutes.
Can I bring guests to my fittings?
Due to COVID-19 we ask that you limit yourself to one guest. We are happy to have your bridal team join us through Zoom or Facetime. Let us know in advance so we can set up a meeting. If you have a large bridal party and would like to do fittings together we can arrange a private appointment.
How are you keeping staff and clients safe during COVID-19?
We have a large, well-ventilated studio with high ceilings and will be keeping windows open and fans running.
What happens if my plans change and I need to cancel my alterations?
Most alterations we pin are in hands within a week of your fitting. We would only charge for the alterations work done. We can not refund payment for alterations that are complete.
What happens if I have to cancel my wedding?
If you cancel your wedding we will work with you to make the unfortunate circumstance as painless as possible, helping you to store, resell or donate your gown.
Do you charge for consultations?
We usually start with a free virtual consultation for alterations, restyling and vintage. In-person consultations are $35. You can book your virtual or in-person consultation on our website.
