Timelines
I recommend my clients who are seeking standard bridal alterations (Dresses within two sizes of their size) be fitted about 6-8 weeks before their wedding/or departure date. That way weight fluctuation isn't as much of an issue. Then my clients can pick up 2 weeks before their wedding/departure date. That way there is not enough time for significant weight loss or gain, and your dress not fit perfectly. However, it allows enough time if you were to need any adjustments.
​
Depending on the amount of work your dress needs, you can expect 2-3 fittings total.
​
Prom alterations and bridesmaids can be fitted anywhere between 3-4 weeks before date of event. Unless you have significant amount of re-sizing, you shouldn't need more than the initial fitting.
Location
I work out of my home in Kannapolis, NC. About 15 minutes from downtown Moorseville and 15 minutes from downtown Kannapolis.
Exact address will be sent before your initial fitting.
We have a small space, but 3-5 guests are welcome. Please let me know ahead of time if you will be bringing guests so I can be prepared to accomodate.
