A wedding dress needs time

Begin 10–12 weeks before the wedding.

Request the appointment 10–12 weeks ahead so the first fitting can happen 8–10 weeks before the date. Bring your dress, event shoes and the exact undergarments you plan to wear.

Less than eight weeks away? We assess the work before accepting it. A request does not reserve a place in the schedule.

  1. 8–10 weeks before

    First fitting, pinned changes and a written quote.

  2. 3–4 weeks before

    Second fitting to check the shape, length and any bustle.

  3. 1–2 weeks before

    Final try-on and pickup, with time to check every detail.

A date you can plan around.

How long do everyday alterations take?

Allow 10–15 business days after the fitting and quote approval. We agree on a pickup date at the fitting. Wedding dresses follow the longer timeline above.

What about a December party rush?

For December 2026 events, request a fitting at least three weeks ahead. If capacity allows, everyday and partywear rush work takes 5–9 business days and adds $35 per garment. It is only accepted after we confirm the deadline; this rush option does not apply to wedding dresses.

Can every garment be taken in or let out?

We need to see the seams, fabric and construction first. Some changes would affect how a garment hangs, and there may not be spare fabric to let it out. We explain the limits at the fitting.

Tell us about the piece.

Include the kind of alteration and your event date, if there is one.
