Unlike the clothes we normally wear, much more time and detailed tailoring goes into a gown. The number of fittings depend on the alterations required. Your dress may just need hemming, or extensive alterations involving side and bust seams, replacing a zipper or more.
What you can expect:
Allow 2-3 weeks between each fitting.
Come prepared:
The more alterations on your dress needs, and the more complex your dress is, the more fittings you will need. If your weight changes at all (beyond 3-5 pounds), there is obviously a surcharge as we will have to alter the dress accordingly.
Pinning Fees: If you meet with the seamstress and decide not to continue with alterations, you will be charged a pinning fee. You have 3 days in which to make such decisions and alert the seamstress. There is NO cancellations for rush garments.
