Hello Love…
EVERYONE and their MAMA asks us when they should schedule their fittings and our answer will always be… NOW!
Our busiest months are March-October. Being that we are slammed from spring to summer there is a special place in our hearts for the brides that come see us during our slower months (November-February). WLYSM!
Schedule Alterations:
You can reserve your future fittings on our busy schedule up to a year out. In the ideal world, we’d like to start your fittings 5-7 months out from your wedding and at the least, 3 months out (don’t panic babe… keep scrolling for RUSH options). Our goal is to get you in and out the door within a 2-3 month timeframe.

Help, I’m in a HURRY!
We understand things come up and we are here to support you. Body fluctuation, weight loss goals, pregnancies, late dress arrivals or last minute weddings & elopements… we are HERE FOR IT.
Special circumstances almost ALWAYS point to our RUSH option for dresses needed in 8 weeks or less. If you predict you will fall in the RUSH category we highly suggest scheduling NOW, since we have a limited number of RUSH dresses we can take on.
For RUSH Alterations our goal is to get you in and out the door within a 1-2 month timeframe.

More Details…
The key to an exceptionally flattering dress is all in the fittings! Plan on 4-5 fittings.
A quick turnaround is always our mission as we don't have space to store dresses for long durations.
Be sure to bring your shoes and undergarments with you to each fitting.
March-October is typically our busy season and often we are booked 2-3 months out.
Pricing...
On average our brides typically spend $1000-$1500 on their alterations. Expect to be on the high end if you need 3 or more things adjusted on your dress, you want something custom, you have a ballgown, sample dress or your dress fits very poorly to begin with.
We will give you a quote at the end of your first fitting once we have a plan for your dress. The quote will be a price range that we commit to stay within. A typical total will be $1100-$1400, spanning a $300 range. We are vigilant about tracking time spent on fittings and sewing. Once your dress is complete, we tally all of our labor to calculate where your total falls on the initial range we committed to at your first fitting.
A 50% deposit is required at your first fitting to begin work on your dress and the remaining balance is due at your final fitting when you take the dress home.
Taking the dress in: $300-$550
Letting the dress out: $400-$650
Adjusting strap length $150-$175
