💡How much does it cost to shorten my bridal gown?

Because there are so many different types of bridal styles, finishes and fabrics, we provide only rough estimates before seeing your dress to understand the construction. We decide in your consultation what works best for your dress to achieve the best outcome and maintain the original finish.

Depending on the bridal style, wedding skirts can have countless layers to add volume, opacity and depth to a bridal look. Occasionally, they only have one layer. We shorten wedding dresses from the hem and the waistline. We unpick and reapply lace trims to maintain a beautifully scalloped hem line. Embellished fabrics often need to be finished by hand to secure the detail.

To polish your bridal look and perfectly align your wedding dress to your body shape.❤️ It makes all the difference! So, this is a reminder to keep a budget for bridal alterations when you plan your wedding.

💡 Most bridal stores offer bridal wear made-to-order and order a wedding dress closest to your dress size.

But only a few of us have a body shape that perfectly fits one size. So, when you collect your dress, you will notice that the dress fits well in some areas but might need to be tighter in others. We align all measurements to make your wedding dress fit you perfectly.

? Are you considering buying a sample dress, a second-hand, a vintage or would like to wear a family heirloom for your wedding? Again, we need to fit the dress on you for it to look perfect.

? What is couture bridal? Couture bridal is made for you and carries your body measurements. Couture is more expensive, and most finishes are done by hand.
