How much do alterations cost?
The cost of alterations varies depending on the specific requirements of each gown. Alterations are tailored to address the unique characteristics of each gown, considering factors such as fabric type, design complexity, beading and lace placement.
​
How long do wedding dress alterations take?
The timeline for wedding dress alterations typically spans between six to eight weeks, acknowledging the intricate nature of the alteration process. This duration allows our skilled alteration specialists to meticulously tailor the dress to your specific measurements and preferences.
How much can a wedding dress be altered?
Most gowns can be altered about two sizes up or down from the original measurements. However, it’s important to consider the structure of the dress. If the bodice or cups don’t fit properly, it may not be the best choice, since the bodice is the foundation of the gown. In cases like that, the cost of alterations could exceed the value of the dress itself.
