Booking an Appointment
We’re delighted you’re considering Fitted Stitches for your alterations. To keep the process smooth and ensure every gown receives the time and craftsmanship it deserves, all appointment requests must begin with our Online Booking System
This is now the only way to request a fitting — we no longer schedule appointments over the phone.
By having all inquiries in one place, we can respond more accurately, stay organized, and build a customized fitting plan based on your gown and event date.
Alteration Timelines
To provide the highest level of care and a beautifully finished fit, we follow these general timelines:
- Bridal Gowns: Typically 8–10 weeks from the first fitting to the final try-on.
- Formalwear: Generally 3–4 weeks, depending on the alteration needs.
- Custom Bridal Gowns: 12-14 weeks minimum for alterations, depending on design complexity and material availability.
All gowns are timed to be completed — including a final try-on — within two weeks of your wedding or event.
Rush options may be available depending on season and availability for an additional fee.
If you’re unsure about when to begin the alterations process, you’re always welcome to email or call us first for personalized timing recommendations.
Appointment Availability
We receive many inquiries each week, and responses are sent between fittings and sewing hours.
Please allow up to 3 business days for a reply. We want to ensure every client receives thoughtful, attentive communication.
Appointments are scheduled first come, first served based on seamstress availability.
If your wedding is 7+ months away, feel free to reach out via email for guidance on ideal timing before submitting the inquiry form.
If you would like a consultation to discuss custom alterations, design changes, or an estimate before booking, simply select Bridal Gown Consultation in the booking section. This is a free service that we offer to clients. If you decide to go forward with alterations you will be required to book an alterations appointment and pay a booking fee.
Send us your Gown Photos
To help us prepare for your fitting, we kindly ask that you email or message us a photo of your gown along with your name whenever possible. You are welcome to go ahead and schedule your appointment below, and you do not need to send photos prior to booking. We’re always happy to answer any questions before you schedule.
Reviewing gown photos allows us to better understand the details of your dress and ensure we reserve the appropriate amount of time and care for your fitting. If we’re unable to approve your appointment due to availability, we’re happy to share a list of trusted local alteration specialists who may be able to assist.
