​All About Alterations

The Process

The alterations process begins 8-10 weeks prior to the date of your event. When it's time, you will receive an email with a link to choose the date and time that works for you.

Bring any foundational garments you might wear with your dress and don't forget to bring your shoes!!! Sew Glorious has cups should you need them (if you are larger than a DD, please let her know).

When you get to the fitting studio, we'll discuss your vision for your day, you'll change into your dress and we'll get started! 

The Cost:

Alterations for Bridesmaids, Mothers, Proms, and Pageant gowns start at $250.
This includes a basic 2-3 layer hem, taking in the sides of the gown, and cups.
Other alterations, custom add ons, or gowns that have complicated hems and/or embellishments come at an additional cost.
