Bridal Alterations List #1

  • Hemming

    When your special occasion gown is longer than expected, we offer hemming services to shorten the length and suit your needs. Wedding dresses, wedding trains, bridesmaid gowns, party dresses, pants, skirts, jumpsuits and other formal/non-formal attire are hemmed by the individual layer. All alterations are completed with a finishing press & steam.

  • Wedding Veils & Headpieces

    It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to enhance the beauty of your existing wedding veil, embroider a monogram or add a dazzling lace border. We can alter any wedding veil or cultural headpiece, including: hijabs, tiaras, dhupatta or turbans/headwraps.

  • Widen | Narrow | Reshape

    A good fit is everything. Whether your wedding gown needs to be taken in, let out, reshaped or re-styled, fitting alterations can help you sculpt the gown to the natural shape of your body.

    From adding structure to the bodice, raising up a waistline, adjusting the bust, shortening shoulder straps to adding ease to the neckline, proper alterations can make all the difference!
