So, there are several wedding dress
stores out there that you can visit to find that perfect wedding dress for you.
But sometimes, no matter how much you love the style and design of a wedding
dress, it doesn’t fit you perfectly. Some brides just choose to go for another
dress to make sure it fits them well. On the other hand, there are others who
won’t let go and will try to find another way.
If you’re someone who’s looking
for a way to make a dress fit you perfectly, the best way to do that is through
bridal alterations. However, there’s one important rule to keep in mind and
that is the dress should be slightly larger, never smaller. A seamstress can
alter a larger dress to make it tailor-fit you, but with a smaller dress, all
hope is gone.
Where do you go for bridal
alterations? You have two options. The first is where you bought the wedding
dress in the first place. Some wedding dress shops also offer alteration
services, some for free, some with a charge. The good thing about this is that
their seamstresses are very used to working with wedding dresses in particular.
The other option is to find an
expert seamstress that does bridal alterations. Either you find a local shop
that does alterations or find an independent seamstress that simply works at
home.
As for the cost of your bridal
alterations, it really depends on the difficulty of the service. If the dress
just needs some minor cutting and adjustments, this will obviously be cheaper
than putting embellishments on the dress. Well, you can always look around to
compare rates from different seamstresses. Nonetheless, it is the quality of
the service that you should always focus on. Bear in mind that this is your
wedding dress and it should be altered perfectly.
Now to ensure that your wedding
dress fits to perfection, you must undergo three fittings. In the first, you
will be asked to wear the undergarments and shoes together with the wedding
dress. She will pin the parts that need adjustments accordingly. The second
fitting will consist of a half-done altered dress, to see if the seamstress is
on the right track. Also, this is done to check if there is something else that
needs adjusting. The last fitting is usually when you can already take the
dress home as the alterations are done and completed.
