It is never too early to schedule alterations! Most appointments are booked 6-8 weeks in advance. Some clients schedule alterations 6+ months in advance.

Brides can start their alterations as early as 4 months or as late as 6 weeks before the wedding date. Bridesmaids, Mother of bride/groom, other formal gowns can start their alterations as early as 4 moths or as late as 3 weeks before the event date.

Most brides have 3 total appointments, bridesmaids and formal gowns usually have 2 appointments.

Brides’ turnaround time is as early as 5 weeks total with a progress appointment as early as the 3-week mark and pick up as early as 2 weeks beyond the progress appointment.

Depending on how the dress fits we might not need a third appointment or if it’s too big or too small by more than 4 sizes a 4th appointment may be required. This will be determined at the drop off appointment.

Bridesmaids and mother of bride/groom dresses are a 2-week turnaround time.

Yes! Please be sure to mention it when inquiring and we can find a time long enough to accommodate multiple dresses or projects.

The drop off appointment we do the bulk of the pinning and style a bustle if you choose to have one. Your shoes are required at every appointment. This is scheduled for 60 minutes.

The progress appointment we’re just making minor tweaks on the bodice area just to make sure things are fitting properly. If your hem has something that needs to be removed and reattached (lace hem or plastic horsehair webbing) that is usually positioned at the progress appointment to ensure proper placement. This is scheduled for 30-40 minutes.

Then the pickup date we’re usually learning/teaching how to bustle the dress. If you choose to have someone learn and practice it that’s the appointment to have someone. If no one is available that’s okay. I have a dress form we put the dress on then do a recorded video explanation on how to do it. We do this video either way with or without a guest. This is scheduled for 30 minutes.

Provided there are appointments available, yes! There would be a rush charge added but we can discuss what options we have. Standard pricing is for a minimum of a 5-week turnaround time. Less than 5 weeks but more than 3 weeks is a 25% rush charge. Under 3 weeks is a 50% rush charge. 4 days or less is double the cost.

Congratulations! Make sure to include that information when reaching out. If you have already scheduled an appointment and found out afterwards we can adjust to accommodate those changes.

At this time, I unfortunately do not. I can hem pants but that is the extent of men’s formal wear.

All clients that need alterations that are under the age of 18/in high school are required to be accompanied by an adult or guardian during the appointment.
