What to Expect
1.Initial Fitting
During your first appointment, we’ll try on your gown, discuss your vision, and determine what alterations are needed to achieve the perfect fit. This is where we begin shaping the dress to you.
2. Alteration Work
Your gown is carefully adjusted, which may include working with multiple layers, delicate fabrics, lace, or structural elements. Each change is done with precision to maintain the integrity and design of the dress. This may be done in stages, depending on the amount of work being done.
3. Follow-Up Fittings
Most brides with have 2-3 fittings to ensure everything fits comfortably and looks just right. During these fittings, adjustments are refined and the fit is perfected. Some areas - especially lace, beading, or detailed finishes - may not be fully completed yet. This allows the fit to be perfected first before finalizing those details, ensuring the best possible result.
4.Final Fitting
Your gown is complete and ready for a final try-on to make sure steamed and finished so it’s ready for your wedding day.
