WHEN TO BOOK
Start your gown alterations early
As a general guide, begin your wedding dress alterations about two to three months before the wedding, with a first fitting once you have your shoes and undergarments. Most gowns need two to three fittings to get every line perfect, and starting early leaves room for the small adjustments that always come up. If your date is sooner than that, call (949) 493-0505 and we will tell you honestly what is possible.
Bring your wedding shoes and the undergarments you plan to wear to every fitting. It is the single best thing you can do for an accurate hem and a comfortable, confident fit on the day.
