We like to have 8 to 12 weeks for the full alterations process, which generally includes 2 to 3 fittings. Plan to start earlier if your availability is limited. If your wedding is sooner than our normal time frame, we may still be able to accommodate you – give us a call to check availability and discuss any rush fees.
Plan to call us to schedule your appointment when you order your dress for best availability, especially during our very busy summer months. If you have a summer wedding and are only available evenings and weekends, you may want to consider scheduling your appointments earlier in the year.
You will need to bring the shoes you plan to wear with the dress (the actual shoes you will wear on your day-- so we may accurately mark your hem), as well as any undergarments. We can provide bra cups to be sewn in for brides with a bust size of A cup or B cup. Larger cup sizes may require you to purchase a long line bustier style strapless bra for proper support, depending on your body and the construction of your dress.
We have a beautiful selection of statement jewelry and both trendy and classic headpieces. Designer and custom veils are available to try on at your fitting appointments. We can also custom design cap sleeves, straps and sashes (custom work generally requires more appointments).
