Follow these tips to get the best fit for your dress! Here’s what to bring:
Attire and Accessories:
- Your Dress: This should be obvious, but make sure you have the dress along.
- Undergarments/Shapewear: Bring any undergarments or shapewear you plan to wear with your dress, including a bra if needed. I recommend getting seamless, nude-colored undergarments. I have sew-in bra cups available if you want those added to your dress.
- Embellishments: If there is anything you want added to your dress (such as a belt, straps, or extra lace), bring it along.
- Shoes: Bring the shoes you intend to wear with your dress to ensure the dress hem is accurate.
- Jewelry: You are more than welcome to try on any and all accessories in front of the mirror during your fitting!
- Photos or Inspiration: Bring any photos or inspiration images to help convey your vision to the seamstress if you want to change the design of your dress.
Additional Tips:
- Bring a Friend or Family Member: Having a trusted companion can provide feedback and support during the fitting.
- Ask Questions: Don’t hesitate to ask questions or seek clarification about any aspect of the fitting process.
- Be Open-Minded: Sometimes alterations may differ from your expectations but trust the expertise of the seamstress and be honest about how you feel things are going.
- Take Pictures: You are more than welcome to take pictures during the fitting process.
- Have Fun! My clients start out as acquaintances and leave as friends. Embrace each moment along the way and enjoy the process!
Thanks for trusting me with your alterations. I’m looking forward to seeing you soon!
