Wedding Gown Alterations
What to Bring to your fitting:
Shoes – this will establish the exact height and make sure the finished hem will be at desired height. Under garments which will be worn with your dress. As the shoes are important to the finished hem, so are the undergarments to the overall perfect fit. There could be a difference of up to 2 inches in the hemline or waist when foundation garments are worn. Make sure that you don’t have makeup on for your fitting as you would like to keep your gown clean and stain free as possible.
Who to bring to your fitting: The bride can easily be overwhelmed with a crowd discussing the appearance of her gown at her fitting. The entire purpose of the fitting (alterations) is to transition a gown into your personal bridal gown. For this reason less is more. A bride should plan to bring her mother, and or a trusted relative as an extra set of eyes. The bustle and train will need to be adjusted by the maid of honor…so she would be another good person to have on hand to understand how your gown works.
Common wedding gown alterations:
Waist – To be a princess for the day requires that your gown is form fitted. This gown should extenuate your figure. Straps – Verifying that your gown rest properly on your shoulders and is positioned right. Necessary adjustments will be made to provide the desired “V” line.
Tips when purchasing your wedding gown:
When should you schedule your fitting?
We generally recommend that as soon as you get your gown; bring it in for an initial fitting. This would establish what areas of the gown will need to altered and if there is anything special you would like done to personalize your gown. The tailors at Kyrou Tailoring will discuss your concerns as well as provide their expert opinion and recommendations. Weddings are a joyous occasion, however, can be a stressful time in your life. It’s not everyday you get married. Stress has a way of fluctuating your weight. We recommend brides have their wedding gown brought in for a fitting (2) weeks minimum (but not greater than 4 weeks). This will insure that there is adequate time to make necessary alterations and the fit will be perfect. If there are major modifications needed on your gown (other than general hemming, straps, and waist) please bring it in for a fitting to discuss with one of our tailors. All brides’ maids can have their dress fittings all at the same time, or at their convenience.
