Bridal Dress Transformations: More Than Just Alterations, It's Magic!
We want you to feel your confident best walking down the aisle. We make sure that the perfect tailoring showcases the best version of you.
Our team comprises not of sewing ladies who fit, but professional designers who excel in making your new, vintage or pre-owned wedding gown look as if it was custom-designed just for you. Our team of dedicated specialists with amazing sewing skills can bring that vision to life.
Need to adjust the size? No worries! We can modify most samples or previously owned wedding gowns by up to 10 sizes either way, ensuring your dress serves as a perfect canvas for artful transformation. If you're expecting a little one, we've got you covered. We will work out a timeline that will assure a close fit on the big day without ditching your fabulous gown for a maternity wedding dress.
A great foundation will ensure you look and feel your absolute best. We carry amazing shape wear by Body Hush, designed for superior tummy control and butt lifting features. And yes, we stock the finest low-back corset available for your open backed bridal gown, ensuring you look fabulous from every angle. For giving the girls support in your plunge neckline or wedding jumpsuit, we carry the best in sticky bras and bust tapes that are proven to stay stuck. We are the only place where you can try sticky bras with your dress to find the perfect support at your fitting.

AN ELEVATED BRIDAL APPROACH
Bridal Alterations, Vintage Restoration & Custom Accessories
At The Wedding Dresser, we like to say that we provide everything but the dress. Our team of designers can help you from start to finish: gown alterations and customizations, vintage restoration and resizing, day-of-wedding personal stylist, engagement or wedding photoshoot styling, and post-wedding gown cleaning and preservation. The Wedding Dresser specializes in bridal, evening wear, and couture techniques, and we’re passionate about making you feel beautiful on your big day.
How long do wedding dress alterations take?
Most brides need 2–3 fittings over 6–10 weeks. Tight timelines are possible; rush options depend on the work and calendar. Bring your final shoes and undergarments to the first fitting for accurate measurements.
What to expect at your bridal fitting?
Your stylist pins the bodice, waist, hem, and bustle; we review lace/appliqué alignment and comfort through movement. Expect pinning, photos, and a brief walk test. After your second fitting, we refine details; at pickup, we review bustle points and care.
Bridal alterations cost & pricing guide
Pricing varies by fabric, layers, lace, beading, and timeline. Typical ranges: hemming (by layer), bodice tailoring, strap/sleeve work, bustle, modesty or neckline adjustments, and fit corrections after weight change. Final quotes follow your first fitting.
