This is the typical process of getting your wedding dress altered:
- Book your initial appointment with us as soon as possible. At this initial contact, ask her for any advice on potential alterations that can be done before you place your order with the seller. Remember to let her know the approximate time frame of the dress arrival, so that she can schedule you in for a suitable fitting date.
- Bring your dress and shoes to your initial fitting session.
- Have your initial dress fitting and pinning done.
- Tell your alterations specialist about the changes you wish to be made on your wedding dress.
- Remember to tell your alterations specialist if you are in the process of losing or gaining weight.
- Be open-minded and listen to any valuable advice your alterations specialist may give you. This may be your first time dealing with a wedding dress, but this may be the one thousandth time this year for your alterations specialist.
- Allow plenty of time, especially if there are many fine details such as beading on your dress. Your alterations specialist will advise you if more time is needed. Always remember quality work takes time.
- Be on time to your dress fitting sessions to avoid rushing or time clashing with other brides. You do want your alterations specialist’s full attention, don’t you?
- Always bring your wedding shoes to each fitting session. Without the right shoes, measurements cannot be correctly taken for services such as dress shortening.
- You must try on the dress when you pick it up at your alterations specialist. If for some reason you were unable to try on the dress at pick up, you must then schedule another appointment to try it on at your earliest available time. It is your responsibility to contact your alterations specialist before your service guarantee period expires, typically within 14 days from the day you receive the altered dress.
