Most Commonly asked questioned:

WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE MY ALTERATIONS?
We recommend making the appointment for your first fitting when your dress arrives in store. Please allow 8-10 weeks before your wedding for your first fitting, second and third fittings are done closer to the wedding date.

Alterations are held on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday.

CAN I PERSONALIZE MY DRESS?
Along with adjusting the length and fit, you may want something bespoke like a change of neckline, addition of sleeves, beadwork detail and so on. Perhaps you'd like a little jacket to go with your dress?  All of this is possible.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO MY FITTINGS?
To ensure the perfect fit, bring the bra, slip, shapewear, and shoes you plan to wear with your dress. The right lingerie can change everything.

HOW MUCH WILL ALTERATIONS COST?
The cost of alterations varies from gown to gown and is not included in the price of your dress. When you select your gown, your bridal stylist can help give you an idea of an estimate but will be fine-tuned during your first fitting after your dress arrives.

I AM GETTING MARRIED ABROAD HOW SHALL I TRAVEL MY DRESS?
Getting married abroad is so exciting but travelling with your precious wedding dress can be a risky undertaking. You don't want it to arrive badly creased or worse!
