Tailoring Tips & Guides

When to Book Wedding Dress Alterations in Calgary

Plan your first fitting about two to three months before the wedding. That leaves room for two or three fittings and any detailed work like bustles or lace hems. Bring your shoes and undergarments to every fitting so the length and fit stay consistent.

What to Bring to a Bridal Fitting

Your gown, the exact shoes you'll wear, the undergarments planned for the day, and any accessories such as a belt, veil or jewellery. Photos of looks you love also help us understand your vision.

Suit Alterations vs Custom Tailoring

If a suit fits well in the shoulders, alterations can usually perfect the rest: sleeves, waist and trousers. If the shoulders or overall shape are off, a custom suit made to your measurements may be the better investment.

How Alteration Quotes Are Calculated

We quote after seeing the garment. Fabric type, linings, beading or lace, how the garment is constructed and the number of changes all affect the work involved.
