When it comes to your wedding day or special event, the fit of your gown is just as important as the gown itself. Whether you’ve found your dream wedding dress or a beautiful formal gown, alterations ensure that it fits your body perfectly—highlighting your shape and helping you feel confident and comfortable from the first step down the aisle to the last dance.
At Flora’s Bridal, we always remind our brides that it’s just as important to share your alteration budget as it is your gown budget. This helps your stylist guide you toward styles that are not only stunning, but also practical for your price range—avoiding surprises down the line.
Keep in mind that alteration costs are based on the amount of work involved, not the price of the gown itself. A simple hem or strap adjustment may be minor, while reshaping the bodice, changing necklines, or adding custom elements can be more complex and time-intensive. A less expensive gown could require more alteration work than a high-end designer gown—it all depends on your body and the gown’s construction.
At Flora’s Bridal, we’re proud to work with an expert seamstress who has over 25 years of experience in bridal and formalwear. She has partnered with us for more than 7 years and is an independent contractor who prices her work based on difficulty and detail—not on commission. Her craftsmanship, care, and professionalism make her a trusted part of the Flora’s Bridal experience.
Alterations are a key part of making your dress truly yours. When you're ready, we're here to make sure your gown fits like it was made just for you.
