Alter your Bridesmaid Dress Today!
Being a Bridesmaid is something that makes you honored, excited, and grateful. However, if the gown is not custom-made, the bridesmaid dress alterations are necessary to achieve a perfect fit.
It is really rare for someone to find a gown that matches one size exactly, and most of the bridesmaids’ & wedding guests’ dresses need alterations. Usually, the dresses have the same bust, waist, and hip measurements, which means alterations are necessary to make it fit perfectly.
In order to provide you with high-quality bridesmaid dress alterations result in Toronto, we need to see the dress, as there are many details that we can see only when the gown is on you.
Our primary goal is to ensure that your dress fits flawlessly and our skilled and experienced in-house tailors pay close attention to the unique body shapes and proportions of each client. By doing so, we guarantee that your dress will not only fit flawlessly but also enhance your overall appearance and boost your confidence.
As for the price, the Bridesmaid, Mother of the Bride, and Guest Dresses are not as complicated as the wedding dress alterations, so the alterations are much more affordable.
Everything You Need to Know about your Bridesmaid Dress Alterations
How long do bridesmaid dress alterations take?
As a general rule, it usually takes 2-4 weeks to alter a bridesmaid dress. For more complicated projects we might need more time, so you should aim to have your alteration appointment at least six weeks before.
How many fittings do I need?
1-2 fittings are enough to achieve the desired fit of your bridesmaid dress, but of course, this depends on the dress. The number of fittings depends on the dress and whether you require basic tweaks or major remodeling & restyling.
What do I need to know for my first appointment?
When you come to your initial fitting appointment, the shoes are essential in properly marking the hem. You should also bring anything else that might impact the fit of your dress.
