Alterations FAQ’s

How long before the wedding/event date should I start my alterations?

We recommend starting your alterations as soon as your gown arrives - it is never too early to have your first fitting. You will have 3-4 fittings total, ideally over a 3-4 month period. The last fitting is typically 2-3 weeks before the wedding. Rush alterations fittings can be accommodated depending on the schedules of our alterations partners

What is the average cost of bridal alterations?

Bridal alteration costs range typically from $800-$1,200 for standard alterations, depending on the dress and what needs to be altered, as well as depending on the alterations specialist you choose. Custom alterations and custom changes may be an additional cost.

What should I bring with me to my first fitting?

If you have your gown, bring that with you to your first fitting along with your preferred form of payment. To all fittings, bring your shoes, undergarments and any other accessories you may want to wear on your wedding day.

How long are alterations appointments?

Each fitting is approximately 30 minutes.

Are custom changes possible in alterations?

Absolutely! Your alterations specialist will be happy to chat with you about any custom changes you may want, including adding or removing sleeves, changing necklines, etc.
