The economy isn’t in a good place and you really want to save money but look great on your wedding day at the same time. You already have an existing wedding gown and you don’t want to spend money on a new one. But the design isn’t really what you want and that’s not the design you dreamed of. What to do?

You deserve to have your dream wedding and you deserve to wear your dream wedding dress. The solution is bridal alterations. Alterations can change your wedding dress while still keeping the existing gown in tact. But the secret to doing this successfully is finding a good seamstress. There are a lot of skillful seamstresses out there but you should find one with experienced in altering wedding gowns. Just to make sure she or he knows that they’re doing.

Now if you don’t really need that big of alteration, you can still go to a good seamstress to make minor alterations. You may have bought the perfect wedding dress but you need to make small adjustments here and there. Minor bridal alterations like adjusting the waist, shoulders or chest area are very easy and simple to do.

Usually with a wedding gown, there are three types of bridal alterations that are commonly done: the length, bodice and sleeves (if there are). These alterations are done to make sure that the wedding dress will fit the bride perfectly in each and every way.

If you know that you have to make bridal alterations, you have to do it early on. One alteration may not be enough to make sure the dress is a perfect fit. You will need at least two fittings to guarantee that the dress is as perfect as it should be. Also, giving it to the Brandon, FL seamstress ahead of time can put your alteration ahead of the others. We can’t really tell how busy the seamstress will be so it’s better to prepare in advance than rush it.

When fitting the dress after an alteration, wear your wedding shoes, undergarments and accessories. This is recommended to guarantee that your dress has the right length, fit and look. Your wedding dress should fit like a glove. Any ill-fitting dress will be unflattering and you’ll be caught dead wearing such a dress on your wedding day.

Plan ahead so you don’t have to force the seamstress to rush the work. This might leave you with poor quality alterations that you won’t be satisfied with.
