Because the right fit changes everything

Professional alterations make the difference between wearing a dress—and owning the moment.

How to Prepare for Alterations

Bring the right shoes.
If your garment requires a specific heel height—especially for gowns or floor-length dresses—please bring the exact shoes you plan to wear. This helps us tailor the hem to the proper length from the very first fitting.

Wear the correct undergarments.
Supportive or shaping undergarments can significantly affect fit. Bring (or wear) any bras, shapewear, or slips you plan to wear with the garment so we can alter it accordingly.

Bring all layers.
If your outfit includes a jacket, overskirt, cape, or detachable piece, bring every element to your fitting—even if you’re not sure you’ll wear it. It allows us to check how everything works together and make accurate adjustments.

Arrive with time and openness.
Alterations are a process. Some garments require more than one fitting to achieve the best result. Trust our team to guide you, and don’t hesitate to ask questions—we’re here to make sure you feel confident every step of the way.
