the alterations journey
the alterations journey
This is where we meet! During your initial consultation, you will try on your gown and I will begin to pin and take notes on what is needed for the dress to fit you well. Then you will tell me about your bridal look goals and any modifications you have in mind. Together we will plan any design changes. Once we’ve agreed on all things design, I will create a timeline for you and set benchmarks for accessory shopping, etc. At the end you will receive an accurate quote for services and if you agree to move forward we will both sign the contract and get the show on the road.
A few weeks after your consultation, you will come in for a progress fitting. Here, the bulk of your alterations will be completed and we will be checking things off the list. This is a quick check in appointment to make sure I am moving in the right direction and making the correct adjustments. If everything goes well, you will be picking up your gown on the following appointment. If we still need some tweaking, I will schedule another 15min appointment before pick up.
This appointment is practically a bootcamp and party at the same time. You will be encouraged to invite a couple of close friends or family members who will be with you on your wedding day. I need them to come so I can teach them how to dress you on your day. This includes: taping your girls, making sure your shape wear is in the correct place, buttoning up your gown, teaching them the correct train fluffing techniques and of course bustling your gown for the party. You will be encouraged to book this appointment on the same day as your HMU trial so you can have glimpse of your final bridal look before the big day. Lastly, payment is due on this appointment.
