Frequently Asked Questions

What should I bring to my bridal alteration appointment?

Bring the shoes and undergarments you plan to wear on your wedding day. These items can significantly impact the fit of your dress.
Can all types of clothing materials be altered?

Most materials can be altered, but some are more challenging than others. Delicate fabrics like silk and lace or heavily embellished items require a specialist's expertise. Always consult with a professional before proceeding with alterations.
How are measurements taken for made-to-measure kidswear?

Using a soft measuring tape, we will take measurements for chest, waist, hip and height, as well as arm and leg lengths. When your child is having their measurements taken, it’s best to ensure they are standing naturally and not holding their breath or sucking in their stomach.
Are bridal alterations more expensive than regular clothing alterations?

Yes, bridal alterations often cost more due to the complexity and delicate nature of wedding gowns, as well as the precision required to ensure a perfect fit for the special day.
