1st Appointment
At this appointment, you will be pined head-to-toe. Wear your wedding footwear. This will save on extra visits as your alteration professional needs your shoes to pin a hem.
Tip
Bring your undergarments and accessories! This is the perfect time to get the big day picture & now’s the time to test out special undergarments to see if they’ll work for your style of gown. That’s definitely something day of you don’t want to be trial running!
2nd appointment
Here you'll ensure you're satisfied with your now completed alterations. Plus, go over how to use your bustle properly, getting in/ out of your dress.
TIP
Bring along a family member or friend to demonstrate how to properly put sleeves on, secure your gown, bustle and more. If no one is able to come with no problem! We’ll offer to video specific items to share with others and serve as a reminder day of.
