alterations process

2-3 months before the big day

Schedule your first alterations appointment

*YOU'RE NOT REQUIRED TO USE YDBN FOR ALTERATIONS.

THIS IS AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE & COMPLETELY OPTIONAL*

Make room in your budget & expect $300-600

Initial Appointment

At this appointment we will pin head-to-toe. Wear your wedding footwear. This will save on extra visits as we need 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!

Next Steps...

Your follow up appointment will be scheduled in-store upon completion of your first pinning once we know your specific timeline and work needing to be completed.

Follow-up appointment

Here we'll ensure you're satisfied with your now completed alterations. We'll also go over how to use your bustle, properly getting in/ out of your dress as well as arrange a pickup day if you're not taking with you at this time.

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.

Alterations availability and services vary dependent on location, work load and staffing.
