ALTERATIONS

Now that you have found your dream dress the real magic begins. Our team of talented seamstresses and pattern makers are on premise to fit and customize your gown to make it perfect for your big day.

The first step is to book your fitting at Jennifer's Bridal by paying your $50 alterations reservation fee. Once this fee is paid to Jennifer's Bridal you will receive your seamstress assignment and her email address to schedule an appointment.

Alterations are offered as a courtesy service to our on a first booked first serve basis. We do not contact you to schedule, it is your responsibility to book your fittings. Fitting appointments are made directly with our seamstresses. Alterations are an additional charge based on what you have done, there is not a flat fee. An estimate is provided at your first fitting and payable at your second fitting. Alterations on average run $400-$600.

Your gown will then be steamed, pressed and placed on a bust form for pick up for $55. Fittings are suggested to be booked at least 4-6 months before your wedding date and typically begin 10-12 weeks before your wedding. Alterations needing to be completed in less than 4 weeks are subject to a $100 rush fee. Samples purchased off the rack are charged a $25 refreshing fee which covers replacing missing hooks and eyes, covered buttons and trimming loose threads. If you are having your gown dry cleaned through Jennifer's you need to have that done before your first fitting. The timeframe to have your gown cleaned is typically 4 weeks and costs $250 on average.

You must have the shoes you are going to wear for your wedding at your first fitting and any undergarments. Bra cups and strapless bras are available for purchase at Jennifer's.

It is important to bring a member of your bridal party to your final fitting to learn how to properly get you into your gown and bustle it.

The pick up of your gown is typically not a try on and can be delegated to someone else to pick up if you prefer.

We look forward to sharing this special time with you.
