About your alteration appointments

We recommend starting alterations on your dress 2 to 3 months prior to your wedding. If we start too early, we risk facing significant body changes resulting in repeated adjustments as we get closer to the big day. We average 3 appointments for standard alterations, and they are usually scheduled 3 to 5 weeks apart.

 

We suggest budgeting roughly $650 to $850 for standard fit adjustments. Pricing for alterations is determined based on the complexity of your gown and the specific adjustment required for the perfect fit. Costs are broken down by each individual adjustment, and are to be paid at each appointment.

 

We recommend storing your dress at the boutique following the final fit adjustments, and plan to pick up as close to the wedding day as possible. This allows us to steam and press your dress to perfection and prevents you from having to spend significant time on dress preparation on the day of the event. We suggest having a handheld steamer on hand to release any remaining wrinkles after travelling with your dress to your getting ready location.

What to bring to your appointment

Please bring the exact shoes you will be wearing on the day of your event. Feel free to bring any undergarments you may be considering. Many brides prefer to add cups to their gown as opposed to wearing a bra. We also encourage you to bring any accessories that you’d like to try on with your dress.

 

We strongly advise against wearing heavy makeup, tanning products and other cosmetics that are likely to transfer onto the dress during wear. White Satin does not offer cleaning services and dry cleaning is not recommended before the dress is worn on the wedding day due to the occasional possibility of shrinkage and damage.
