Special Occasions & Bridal Alterations

The timeline can vary depending on the complexity of your dress and the adjustments needed, but we typically recommend starting alterations at least 6–8 weeks before your wedding. This allows enough time for multiple fittings and ensures everything is just right — without the last-minute stress. That said, we’ve handled urgent cases before, including dresses completed in just 2 days or a couple within a week. While we always encourage starting early, we kindly ask for a minimum of 2 weeks whenever possible.

Costs depends on what your dress needs — some adjustments are simple, like hemming or tightening a strap, while others are more detailed, like reshaping the bodice or adjusting lace. But what we focus on most is making sure your dress fits you in a way that feels just right.

When you try it on and see how it flatters your shape, how it moves with you, and how it feels like it was always meant to be yours — that’s when the real value comes through. We’ll talk through everything with you beforehand, give you a clear quote, and make sure you’re comfortable every step of the way.

That’s a really common concern — and totally understandable. Your dress is something you chose with so much care, and we respect that. Our job isn’t to change the heart of it — it’s to make it feel more like yours.

We work with the design and structure that’s already there, making thoughtful adjustments so it fits your body just right while still looking and feeling exactly the way you imagined. Before we start, we’ll talk through everything with you, so there are no surprises — just a dress that feels even more like the one. Your dress will only look different if you ask us to make design changes — whether it’s reworking a neckline, adding straps, or personalizing the details, etc.
