How to Work With Us
Expert dress alterations, made simple and stress-free
Here’s how our process works:
-
Appointments aren’t required but are recommended for dedicated time and more complex garments. Feel free to reach out via email, phone, or Instagram if you'd like to schedule an appointment.
First Fitting (or Free Consultation)
Your first visit is complimentary and includes:
Light pinning to assess the fit
Discussion of timing, pricing, and adjustments
A chance to ask questions and share preferences
Can’t visit right away or want a virtual quote
Send us photos or a link to your dress for a virtual estimate—no pressure or commitment. -
Standard turnaround is about 1 week. Rush options are available if needed.
Second Fitting:
Try on your dress with the initial adjustments. Most dresses are ready to take home at this stage. If minor tweaks are still needed, we’ll mark and complete them quickly. -
If additional adjustments are requested—such as further tailoring or complex details—we’re happy to schedule another fitting. Our goal is a flawless fit, every time.
