​
What to expect:
Our Bridal Alterations experience generally consists of 3 fittings over a 4-6 week period. If extra fittings are needed or a shorter/longer lead time is required, this is absolutely no problem. We kindly ask that all Brides limit the number of persons coming along to their appointments to one. We also suggest that brides bring along their shoes and if being worn, any shapewear/bras etc. for their fittings.
​
Fitting 1:
In your first fitting our amazing Bridal Specialist, Lucia, will guide you through your appointment with expertise and integrity. She can point out recommended alterations or simply stick to the areas you want to adjust. A bridal designer, maker and couturier herself, Lucia is a wealth of knowledge. Her passion, commitment and heart in what she does is like no other. She will have you feeling comfortable and confident throughout the whole fitting process and on your big day.
The aim of your first fitting will be pinning the major fit changes, discussing any additional customisations, such as sleeves, straps, bustles, linings etc, putting together a quote for the work involved and booking in your next fitting.
Fitting 2:
When you come back for your second fitting, your dress will have the major fit changes altered, such as take-ins, let-outs, reshaping etc. Additional details that might sit differently after these major changes are now double checked in this fitting - such as the hem, straps, lace/beading/appliqué work etc.
Any additional fit changes can also be pinned or any areas that need tweaking readjusted. Lastly, we’ll also check the height and usability of any bustles or loops added for trains, to make sure they’re sitting correctly.
Fitting 3:
This last fitting is generally also your pick up day. All alterations are finished for this appointment and it is just about trying on to make sure everything is looking and fitting just right. If by any chance anything needs further adjusting, we can of course book in a fourth appointment.
At your pick up appointment, Lucia will additionally give you expert tips on packing, travelling with, storing, steaming and getting dressed into your dress.
