3 Answers to FAQs About Wedding Gown Alterations

1. How Long Will It Take?

The amount of time it will take to have your wedding gown altered depends on how much work you need to have done. If you just need one area taken in, it will take much less time than if you need a part to be completely redesigned. Because they want your dress to be absolutely breathtaking, the professionals at 6 Avenue Tailor usually spend between one to two weeks on wedding gown alterations.

2. How Much Will It Cost?

For the most common types of alterations, such as taking in or letting out the sides, you can expect to pay around $45.00 per seam at 6 Avenue Tailor. You can also expect to pay the same amount to have the bottom of your gown hemmed.

3. What Should I Bring With Me to the Fitting?

Aside from the actual dress, there are a few other things tailors recommend bringing with you to your fitting. Bring the lingerie you plan on wearing underneath the dress so that the tailors can leave enough room for it. You should also bring the shoes you plan on wearing so the dress will be the proper length.
