BRIDAL FAQs

Congratulations on the purchase of your wedding dress! Please read the following, as it may help to answer your alteration questions.

Scheduling:

Please call for an appointment as soon as you order your dress. My schedule fills up very fast—especially during the busiest wedding seasons – in the spring, summer and fall. The earlier you call me, the more likely I’ll be able to schedule you for the date and time of your choice.

Appointment Times:

I normally do bridal fittings on Thursdays. To keep things running smoothly for both of us, please be on time. I do several back-to-back fittings each Thursday and when every bride is on time, it helps for a smooth run of the day. Your fitting will be approximately 30/40 minutes.

Guests:

You are welcome to bring someone to your fittings to enjoy the experience with you.

Fittings:

Most wedding gown fittings consist of 3 appointments. During the first two, we’ll adjust the fit of the dress. At the third and final, or “the pick-up fitting,” you’ll put on your gown one last time to ensure everything fits perfectly for your wedding day! Dresses are usually picked up a week before your wedding.

Rescheduling:

If you can’t make a scheduled fitting, please call me as soon as possible to reschedule. Please understand that because I have so many appointments, a reschedule may require you to be flexible.

What to Bring:

Please bring your dress, shoes and any undergarments you plan on wearing on your wedding day to every fitting. Consider your fittings like a dress rehearsal for your wedding day. Undergarments consist of bra, spanks or anything that you plan on wearing under your dress that will change the fit of the dress. If you want cups put in your dress instead of a bra, I will supply the cups. Cups work best for small to medium size bust.

Pricing:

Your wedding gown is as unique as you are. Because each dress is different, the cost of alterations can range significantly. Prices are determined by the amount of work that is needed or requested by the bride. I will give you an estimate at your first fitting and a definite price at your second.

Payment:

If you are paying for the dress with a check, the dress must be paid on the second fitting. Cash is accepted anytime leading up to or at the final fitting. All returned checks are subject to a $35 bank charge. I do not accept credit or debit cards.
