Alterations

For any alterations please contact us as soon as possible that we can advise how to note alterations correctly. We unfortunately do not have fitting facilities at our factory that we can’t check for you what alterations are needed. We will then make arrangements to drop the dress off at our factory. Alterations take 2-3 weeks, please allow enough time for alterations. If alterations are needed quicker our rush fees are applicable in addition to the alteration fee. If a dress needs to be made smaller more than 1 size a new dress needs to be made. Dresses unfortunately can’t be made bigger, for a dress that needs to be bigger a new dress will need to be ordered. Please make sure of the size or measurements before ordering. We gladly assist with any sizing questions if you are unsure.
