How many fittings will I have?
Most brides have 3 fittings, but you can expect to have more if you’re doing a significant amount of custom work.

When do I pay for alterations?
The tailor will go over the pricing of your alterations at the end of the first fitting. Payment will be due at this time. If you’d like to receive a quote beforehand, give us a call to book your Alterations Quote Appointment.

You’ll need to bring your shoes to every appointment, as well as any shapewear or undergarments you plan on wearing.
Can I still do alterations with you even if I bought my dress elsewhere?
