What to Expect at Stitch & Style
Every project begins with an event date inquiry and a review of the garment's construction, fabric, and condition. This first assessment helps us understand what can be adjusted, what fittings may be needed, and how to plan the work around your deadline.
For bridal gowns and occasion dresses, we usually work through an initial fitting, a staged quote with deadlines, and one or two fitting appointments depending on the changes required. Common alterations include hem and train adjustment, bodice and strap refitting, and bustle or fastening adjustment.
Bridal and occasionwear alterations planned around your event date
Clear fitting steps, written scope, and careful adjustments for formal garments.
We keep the alteration scope in writing so the requested changes are clear before work begins. Because fit depends on construction and seam allowances, the final outcome is confirmed only after inspection and fittings, not before.
At collection, we complete a fit check and share care and pressing notes so the garment is ready for the event. If you are planning ahead, allowing at least three weeks gives more room for fitting stages and final adjustments.
