At Gowns of Grace, we believe that every bride deserves a dress that not only fits beautifully but also embodies her unique style. We take pride in creating moments of joy through the happiness of our clients, ensuring that each gown radiates beauty and grace.

The Importance of Bridal Gown Alterations

Alterations are essential for achieving the perfect fit for your bridal gown, ensuring you feel confident on your big day and look stunning in photos that will last a lifetime.

Bridal gowns are typically made according to a size chart system, and your gown is ordered based on basic measurements. At Gowns of Grace, we strive to special order your gown as close to your size as possible, minimizing the need for extensive alterations. Once your gown arrives, it will require tailoring to accentuate your unique body shape and highlight your natural beauty.

Alterations can also be a creative process, allowing us to add customizations and unique elements that reflect your personal style. Keep in mind that each bride’s alteration experience will vary; some may need only minor adjustments, while others may require more significant changes.

Pricing for Alterations

Alteration pricing is determined based on the complexity of the work and the materials of the gown. During your fitting, we will assess your needs and provide a detailed quote.

Timeline for Alterations

Our seamstresses recommend starting alterations 6-8 weeks before your wedding or bridal portraits to ensure ample time for adjustments. However, we are committed to accommodating any schedule to meet your needs.

Scheduling Your Alterations Appointment

Once your gown arrives at Gowns of Grace, we’ll reach out to schedule your alterations appointment.

First Fitting

During the first fitting, our experienced seamstress will assess your gown and provide a detailed breakdown of the necessary alterations and associated costs. We use your wedding or travel dates as a timeline marker, ensuring we accommodate your schedule. You’ll have the option to proceed with the alterations or take your gown home.

Alterations Timeline

On average, bridal gown alterations involve 2-3 fittings. For brides requesting customizations or significant redesigns, additional fittings may be necessary to achieve the perfect look. Our goal is to ensure your gown is tailored to perfection, allowing you to feel confident and radiant on your special day.

At Gowns of Grace, we are committed to making the alteration process as seamless and enjoyable as possible!
