Alterations

Typically three fittings are required for wedding gown alterations. To begin please call and schedule your initial appointment.

For the first fitting, you must have your shoes in addition to the gown. At the first fitting, we will pin the gown and make a plan for what needs to be done and a half down deposit is required to move forward. A second fitting is then scheduled to check fit and a final fitting to try the gown on one last time and to do a bustle tutorial.

Pricing is based on the construction of the gown and can be quoted during the first fitting. 1/2 deposit is required after the initial first fitting to get started.

• The space is small so only 2-3 people are allowed to join you for your fittings

• If your gown is in a box please remove it from the box and bring it on a hanger. This includes vintage gowns in preservation boxes

• Include your name in the clear window on your gown bag

• Anticipate traffic if you are coming in from San Antonio or Austin. If you are more than 20 minutes late, your appointment will need to be canceled and rescheduled due to time constraints
