Bridal Alterations
Almost every wedding dress needs alterations to make it fit you well unless a bridal gown is made bespoke. The reason is that most bridal outfits are made to order, which means they are closest to your dress size. Once we have adjusted and aligned your dress to your body measurements, your wedding gown will be perfect.
