SUGGESTIONS FOR SCHEDULING YOUR ALTERATIONS:

Walk-ins are not accepted for Alterations. An appointment is required for alterations to be made.We recommend you schedule your alterations appointment 8-10 weeks before your wedding date. You will be charged a rush fee if you choose to have your alterations completed under the recommended time allotment. Please call for an appointment 3 to 4 weeks in advance of the actual needed appointment date. This will insure that you have the best opportunity of securing the appointment most convenient to your schedule.

You are required to bring all these items to every alterations appointment.

The scheduling of your second appointment will be arranged by you and your seamstress during the first fitting. Please keep in mind, if you should choose not to have your alterations done during this first appointment, you will be charged a $50 pinning fee. At your second appointment, you will see the work that has been done on your gown. If you need any finishing alterations, you and your seamstress may need to arrange another appointment.
