Alterations knowledge

Your wedding gown has arrived what is next for you?

There are so many qualified seamstresses in our area, ask for a references.


List of what to bring to your alteration appointment:

  1. Bridal shoes

  2. Undergarments

  3. Spanks if you choose to wear them

  4. Reception shoes


Alterations expectations:


  • It is not uncommon to need to adjust your top to fit flush on your skin.

  • The length requires shortening to fit to your bridal shoes. IF your bridal gown rolls under, you can trip.

  • A bustle on the back of your bridal gown raises up your train to keep it off the ground and secure it for your reception. This is the most common expectation for your bridal gown.


Time is of the essence, when your dress arrives, get lined up for alterations to avoid rush fees. A rush fee can be high and is an additional charge, depending on the seamstress and how short the time might be.


Expect your dress to be in alterations 2-5 months depending on their work load. You will try on your dress 2 or more times depending on what needs to be done.


Customizations are also an option like adding on sleeves or changing your neckline. So always keep in mind you have many options available to you.


Do not hesitate to ask the questions. We are here for our brides all the way down the aisle.


Thank you for supporting a asmall business nd we Love you are a Brooke and Bre Bride.
