Many gowns need at least some sort of alteration, but keep in mind that your alteration issues can vary greatly, depending on where you got your gown and how many changes need to be made. If your expectations are in order and you go to the right seamstress, you should be ready for your wedding day with a gown that fits flawlessly.

Customize your gown by adding your own personal touches! We offers many ways to customize your gown and make it your own. We can provide cups, bras and slips, and we will advise you on each one.

Here are a few design elements you may consider: Sleeves: We can add straps or sleeves to any strapless gown. Corset backs: If your gown has a back zipper and you wish to change the look or need to increase the size, ask Lucy to show you the corset back option. Bustles: A bustle is created by elegantly draping and securing the train to the back of your gown to allow you to move freely and safely. Lucy can create the look that's just your style, from simple and subtle to intricate and detailed. Bows & Sashes: Add a colorful sash to accent your waist and coordinate with your party.

As we adjust your gown through out the fitting we will always ensure your comfort and fit. At the end of your first fitting we will schedule a second fitting appointment. When the alterations are complete your gown will be professionally pressed and steamed ready for that special day. We also do all types of custom work on gowns and veils.
