Alterations
Love a dress but doesn't quite fit right? Alterations are a very normal part of the event wardrobe process. We offer a full alterations service in house for wedding and formal dresses. Our seamstress obtained her Bachelor of Design from Ryerson University and has extensive experience in wedding and formal. For more information on Adrianne Hill and to view her work please visit her online profile.
We believe a dress should look like it was created just for you by the time your alterations are complete. Here are some frequently asked questions regarding alterations and the fitting process.
