Two things to know first
- You need to bring the dress to the boutique so the seamstress can look at it on you. We do not give estimates by phone, photo, or text — every gown is different and the only honest quote is the one given after a fitting.
- Dresses only. We alter wedding gowns, prom dresses, quinceañera and Sweet 16 gowns, mother-of-the-bride and bridesmaid dresses, communion and confirmation dresses. We do not tailor men's suits or tuxedos.
How pricing works
Every gown is different — hem length, bodice take-in, bustle style, beading repair all add up differently. We give you a written estimate at your first fitting, before any work begins. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Timeline
8 to 10 weeks before your wedding for your first fitting. Most brides need 2 or 3 fittings, two weeks apart.
Closer to your date than that? Call us. Rush alterations are available when life happens.
You bought your dress somewhere else?
Bring it in. Same pricing, same team. We work on dresses from any boutique — David's Bridal, Kleinfeld, online, family heirloom. We just need to see it on you to give you an honest quote.
