Can You Give Me An Estimate Over The Phone Or Through Text?

Wedding gown alterations are a form-fitted piece of art and as a result, it can be very challenging to quote you for the cost of your alteration without seeing the gown on you. This is why we’ll offer you a free no-obligation consultation ($100 in value) during which a professional fitter can give you great tips and suggestions on how to make your gown fit and look better and more flattering.

How Soon Can I Bring In My Wedding Gown For Alterations?

We suggest brides send in your bridal dress alterations 3-4 months ahead of your wedding day. Short notice and emergency can be negotiable. Text Dorie at 714-343-9845 anytime for your inquiry.

Is It Wise To Buy A Bigger-Sized Dress?

When purchasing a wedding dress, it is always better to go for a bigger size and longer length, rather than a smaller or shorter one.

Where Do You Recommend I Buy My Wedding Dress?

We always recommend checking online first, as you’re more likely to find deals on the same gowns that you’ll find at local retail locations.

Is It Worth Buying A High-End Designer Wedding Dress?

Yes. From experience, a high-end dress or gown is definitely worth it for a couple of reasons. One of them is that the quality is usually higher than a regular mass-produced wedding gown. In addition to that, you have the option to resell the dress for a decent amount after the wedding.

Some of the best brands we’ve worked with are Karoza Bridal, Love and Lace Bridal, Vera Wang, Pnina Tornai, Monique Lhuillier, Oscar De La Renta, Hayley Paige, Valentino, Pronovias, St. Patrick, Eve of Milady, Anne Barge, Stella York, Eddy K. and so much more.
