Your Alterations Journey

Book your Appointment

 Reserve your appointment as soon as you’ve purchased your gown. Our books open up to one year in advance, and early booking ensures the best availability.

First Fitting

 We’ll discuss your vision, evaluate the fit of your gown, and create a personalized alterations plan. This is when we’ll pin your gown and provide an estimate for your alterations.

Expert Craftsmanship & Second Fitting

 While your gown is in our care, every alteration is completed with precision, thoughtful craftsmanship, and careful attention to detail. At your second fitting, we’ll evaluate the fit, fine tune any remaining details, and ensure your gown is beautifully tailored and ready for the final steps before your wedding day.

Final Try on & Wedding Ready

 At your final appointment, we’ll make any last adjustments, demonstrate your bustle if applicable, and ensure every detail is exactly as it should be. You’ll leave with your gown beautifully tailored, feeling confident, comfortable, and ready to enjoy your wedding day.

Preparing for your First Fitting

 Coming prepared helps us achieve the best possible fit for your gown. We recommend bringing the following items to every bridal fitting:

Shoes

 The exact shoes you’ll wear on your wedding day are essential for determining the correct hem length.

Shapewear & Undergarments

 Bring the undergarments and shapewear you plan to wear so we can ensure the most accurate fit.

Accessories

 If you’ve selected your veil, jewelry, or other accessories, feel free to bring them along to see how everything comes together.

Inspiration Photos

 If you have ideas for customizations or design changes, inspiration photos are always helpful during your consultation.

Guests

 You’re welcome to bring up to four guests to share in your fitting experience. Our boutique studio is designed to provide a comfortable and personalized appointment while ensuring there is plenty of space to move around your gown during fittings.

Arrival Time

 Please arrive no more than five minutes before your scheduled appointment. This allows us to give each client our full attention and ensures your fitting begins in a calm, personalized environment. Our boutique studio is designed to accommodate one appointment party at a time, helping us provide every bride with a private and focused experience.

Investment in Your Perfect Fit

 Every wedding gown is unique, and so is every alterations plan. During your first fitting, we’ll discuss your vision, evaluate your gown, and provide a personalized estimate based on the alterations required.

Most brides invest between $550 and $800, depending on the gown, the complexity of the alterations, and any custom design work. Pricing may vary depending on these things.


If you’re still deciding or would simply like to explore your alteration options, we offer complimentary bridal consultations. These appointments provide an opportunity to discuss your vision, ask questions, and receive a personalized estimate before committing to alterations.

We recommend scheduling your consultation before your recommended alterations start date. This allows plenty of time to review your options, reserve your place on our schedule, and ensure your alterations can begin at the ideal time for your wedding.


We believe in transparent pricing and will review your alterations plan with you before any work begins.
