We think that brides who plan are smart cookies. We want to help you do that, so scroll down to see our price list! All prices are categorized by simple, intermediate or difficult.

Schedule your appointments! You will want to schedule your first fitting appointment for 2 to 3 months before the event date.  If you schedule your appointment for more than 3 months before your event date you run the risk of your size fluctuating after your alterations have been done. After you schedule your fitting please schedule your pick up appointment

Book appointment

Prepare for your appointment by purchasing the shoes you will be wearing the day of the event.  Also decide what undergarments, slips, or shapers you will be wearing.  If you are not sure then bring a few returnable items to try on with the dress. We have found that most women do not need a bra as bra cups can be added and that if your dress is fitted through the hips you will want a shaper(spanx). These can all effect fit and the length of your dress so make sure you bring them to your appointment.

Show up for your appointment on time with your shoes, dress, and undergarments.  If you are going to be late or have a last minute conflict and need to reschedule, just give us a call or text us!  We will try to fit you in at our next available appointment.  Appointments should take 30 min for a dress and 1 hour for a wedding gown. All pricing will be explained during your fitting and you will be given a breakdown of all the alterations.  We will also confirm with you the pick up time that you previously set.

Show up for your pick up appointment on time with your shoes and undergarments.  This appointment should take 15 minutes for dresses and 30 minutes for wedding gowns.  Some adjustments may be needed and another pick up appointment may need to be made.  If everything looks great on your garment you may take it with you.  The total will be due at this time.  You may pay with either cash, check (preferred), credit card or paypal.  Then all that is left is enjoying your event!
