FAQS

​

What should I bring to my fitting?

To ensure the best possible fit, please bring the following:

• Your dress or item to be altered

• The shoes you plan to wear – This is essential if you need a hem or bustle.

• Bra, shapewear, or undergarments – If you plan to wear any items that affect the fit (Spanx, a padded bra, etc.), bring them to all fittings and your final pickup.

• A guest (optional) – You’re welcome to bring one additional adult guest to your fittings or pickup.

• Water in a sealed container – Please leave other beverages and food in your vehicle.

​

When are payments due?

At the first fitting you can either pay the full estimate or you can pay half, with the remaining amount due at your next fitting. 

​​

What is the alterations process like?

• First Fitting – We’ll discuss what needs to be done, and I’ll pin the dress to mark adjustments. At this appointment, you’ll pay for the alterations, and we’ll schedule your pickup or additional fittings.

• Additional Fittings – If needed, we’ll refine the fit, making adjustments as necessary. Most bridal alterations will have a total of 2-3 fittings plus pickup. All other formalwear typically has 1 fitting and the pickup.

• Final Pickup – Your dress will be ready! You’ll try it on to verify the fit, and then take it home.

​​

How long should I expect this to take?

• Fittings: 45-60 minutes

• Pickups: Usually 30 minutes

• Bridal timeline: Typically 2-3 fittings with a final pickup around two weeks before your wedding

​​​

What if I have less than the usual timeline?

​If you're on a shorter timeline, feel free to reach out. I'll be upfront about whether I have the availability to take on your dress and the associated rush or overbooking fees.

​​​

Can you help if my dress is too small?

Yes! However, please allow additional time to source fabric or corset options and allow for multiple fittings.
