FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How far in advance should I alter my bridesmaid dress?+

We recommend scheduling your first fitting 6–8 weeks before your wedding. This allows ample time for fittings and adjustments while avoiding rush fees.

Do I need an appointment?+

An appointment isn't required, but it's definitely recommended. Booking ahead lets our bridal specialists dedicate time to properly fit your dress and discuss every alteration in detail.

How many fittings will I need?+

Most bridesmaid dresses require one fitting and one pickup. More complex alterations may require an additional fitting.

Can my bridesmaid dress be made smaller?+

Absolutely. Taking in the waist, hips, bust, and bodice is one of our most requested services.

Can my dress be made larger?+

In many cases, yes. If seam allowances permit, we can carefully let out portions of the gown. We'll assess this during your fitting.

What should I bring?+

Bring your wedding shoes, shapewear, a strapless bra if applicable, and any accessories that may affect fit. This allows us to tailor your dress precisely.

Can you alter lace, beading, or delicate fabrics?+

Yes. We regularly work with lace, chiffon, satin, silk, tulle, sequins, beading, and other delicate bridal fabrics.

Do you offer rush alterations?+

Yes. Rush services are available based on our production schedule, and a rush fee may apply. Contact us as soon as possible for availability.

Can you alter dresses purchased online?+

Absolutely. We frequently alter dresses from Azazie, Birdy Grey, Revelry, Jenny Yoo, David's Bridal, Bella Bridesmaids, Kennedy Blue, and many other designers.

Why should I professionally alter my bridesmaid dress?+

Even designer dresses rarely fit perfectly off the rack. Professional alterations improve comfort, confidence, movement, and ensure your gown looks custom-made for you.
