On average, the alteration process takes 8-10 weeks from the first fitting to the final pickup. However, we understand that every bride’s timeline is different, and we are happy to accommodate rush orders if you need your gown sooner. Please note that rush orders may incur an additional fee, depending on the complexity and turnaround time required. We’ll be happy to discuss your timeline and options during your consultation.

Most brides require 2-3 fittings, depending on the complexity of the alterations. The first fitting allows us to pin and assess necessary adjustments, while the following fittings ensure a perfect fit before your big day.

Every bride and gown is unique, but some of the most common wedding dress alterations include:

• Hemming (adjusting the length)

• Taking in or letting out the bodice for a perfect fit

• Strap adjustments

• Bustle creation to lift the train for easy movement

• Reshaping the neckline or back for added elegance

• Adding bra cups for built-in support
