How to come prepared for your fitting

Come prepared with your ideas

Make sure to come prepared with an idea of what alterations are needed and/or which direction and/or design ideas you would like to incorporate in with your garment and/or vintage re-make.

Have a budget

During your initial fitting with our alteration specialist we will discuss all of your design ideas and you will want to make sure to have a rough idea of your budget so we can make sure to give you the best possible options and create the best experience for you.

Shoes

Make sure to bring your shoes with you or something of similar height you know you will be wearing.

Undergarments

Make sure to bring appropriate undergarments along with you that you may want to wear with your item such as SPANX, strapless bras and hosiery, and for those with long hair, please bring a hair-tie. Most of our Brides & Grads request our gel cups instead of wearing a bra for ultimate comfort & we always have them available at the boutique for purchase.
