Congratulations, you’ve found your dream dress! We are so happy for you. Of course, even the best dresses usually require some alterations once they arrive. After all, every woman has a different, unique and beautiful shape.
Here at The Wedding Dress Shoppe, we are thrilled to have an in-house alterations department. This gives us a lot of experience with alterations, and we know how to work with a seamstress to get the results you want. Having our own department also allows us to be with brides from, “Yes, that’s the dress!” to sending her off to walk down the aisle.
For good alterations you will need to allow for at least three fittings, with the first starting three months before the wear date. Your “wear date” may actually be before your wedding day, especially if there is a plan for bridal portraits.
Of course, while we recommend three fittings, it really depends on the specific dress and how extensive the alterations are. If custom work is involved, there may be up to five fittings.
Regardless of the number of fittings that are needed, there are some important things to keep in mind when working with a seamstress. Here are a few of our top tips:
