01
First Fitting
Bring your dress, your veil, the shoes you'll wear on the day and the undergarments you plan to wear under it - if you haven't sorted those yet, we stock Sarah's own bridal shapewear label, FOUNDATION, right here in the studio. We pin the alterations through the top of the gown, the hips and any change to the style - then email your quote through.
02
Second Fitting
Your gown is altered in the studio with the same care we give our bespoke creations, then you're back in to pin the hem - which waits until the bodice is perfect.
03
Final Fitting
A last check rather than more changes - your dress fits like it was made for you. Twirl, walk, dance, then take it home ready for the aisle.
Wedding season books quickly - get in touch as soon as you've ordered your dress, with your first fitting ideally around 8 weeks before your day. New to this part? Read what happens at a wedding dress fitting before your first appointment.
