The Bridal Fitting Process

Step 1: Book a Fitting

Select an open slot on our booking page. Book early if possible; we may not be able to accommodate if you need your dress within 2.5 months and a rush fee may apply. You'll get an automatic confirmation with details on how you should prepare for your first fitting - yay!

A friendly reminder - Booking an appointment does not guarantee that we will be able to alter your dress for you. Estimates only are $50, and this fee is waived for dresses put down the same day.

Step 2: The First Fitting

For your first fitting, you will have about 30 minutes blocked off with us one-on-one. We'll have you change into your wedding dress and walk you through how the dress could fit better.

We will then walk you through a quote, have you review and sign our tailoring agreement, and put down 50% of the base quote amount as a deposit.

Step 3: The Second Fitting

At your second fitting, we will block off another 20 minute session with you. We will show you the first round of alterations and get you back into the dress.

We will then walk you through some steaming and pressing options, and schedule your last fitting if the dress is not already ready for you that day.

Step 4: The Final Fitting (if we need it!)

At your last fitting that is roughly 20-30 minutes, we will get you into the dress one last time and confirm that all fits well.

Then we will share some words of wisdom for dress care and offer some pointed guidance for your specific dress, including bustle instructions.

We’ll end by closing your final balance. Then you will be off on your *marry* way and the dress is yours again!

Note: We may finish your dress at the second fitting (yes, we really are that good!). We will close you out then!

Step 5: Post-Wedding Care

After you've picked up your dress, and *gotten married* (!!!) we’ll invite you to come back for the full suite of after-care services. We will dry clean your dress for you (and box it too if you’d like!), and have it ready for you within 4-6 weeks.
