When to book your fitting

Wedding dresses – We recommend beginning alterations 4–6 months before the wedding. However, if the bride is planning to lose weight before the alterations process begins, starting 2–3 months before the wedding may be more suitable.

Prom dresses – We begin fittings from March. We understand that some prom dresses may arrive closer to the event date, so we make allowances for this and work around the schedule of your dress arriving.

Bridesmaid dresses - 2-3 months before the wedding preferably.

Mother of the Bride/Groom - 2-3 months before the wedding preferably.
