FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When should I book my appointment?
For alterations, as soon as you purchase your gown. Do not wait until it comes in if you order it, contact us as soon as you know what dress you're wearing. For custom and vintage we ask to contact us ASAP so we can make sure we book with enough time for your specific project.
How long does it take?
Alterations can take anywhere from 3-13+ weeks depending on the level of alterations needed and complexity of your gown. We strive for the fastest turn around possible for your gown within our means.
Custom gowns can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months to design, create, and fit.
Vintage restyling or restoration can take anywhere from 1 to 3 months to complete.
How much do alterations usually run?
Every bride is different, and thus every gown and body needs different adjustments. We are happy to give you an estimate if you submit an appointment request with photos and details. Our standard packages run $1000-$1600. Details like beading and lace will generally be on the higher end of pricing as they'll often take more time to work with. Pricing can be found on each service page.
What's the difference in package pricing vs ala carte?
Most sewing studios price by task (ala carte), but we choose to lump everything into a package level. This means we do not charge by button or bustle point. We will take care of everything head to toe needed to make your gown perfect. This also means you know up front how much you will be paying. There are no extra charges unless you request significant additional tasks or weight fluctuations require us to redo alterations.
What do I need to pay?
We take Credit/Debit Card, Apple Pay, Cash, and Afterpay. We do NOT take checks. In order to start alterations they need to be paid in full. Custom gowns can be split into payments with a minimum 50% deposit down. We now offer Afterpay as another option to make payments on any service. LEARN MORE HERE
