Behind the Seams: A Closer Look at the Wedding Dress Alteration Process

Today, we're shedding light on the meticulous process that ensures your gown fits you like a dream on your special day!


At Gracyn Elizabeth Bride, we know that the perfect wedding dress is not just about finding the right design but also ensuring it fits flawlessly. That's why we work closely with exclusive seamstresses who are masters of their craft, dedicated to bringing out the best in every gown.


So, you've found the gown of your dreams, but now it's time to make it uniquely yours through alterations. We recommend starting this process 6-8 weeks before your event date, whether it's your wedding day or bridal portraits. Why so early, you may ask? Well, some gowns require multiple fittings to achieve that perfect fit that hugs your curves in all the right places. Even if your gown seems like it needs minimal adjustments, starting alterations early can alleviate any last-minute stress as your big day approaches.


Now, let's talk about the nitty-gritty: the cost. While the price of your dress at Gracyn Elizabeth Bride is inclusive, alterations are an additional investment. The exact cost varies from gown to gown, depending on the complexity of alterations required. But fret not, during your first fitting after your dress arrives, our skilled seamstresses will provide you with a fine-tuned estimate, ensuring transparency every step of the way.

But alterations aren't just about achieving the perfect fit; they're also an opportunity to infuse your personality into your dress.
