Tips from The Pros - Part IV - Alterations

When it comes to wedding dress alterations, we reached out to our favorite alteration and personal assistant bridal service for some helpful advice.
From Olivia:
1. For alterations you should choose someone who has plenty of experience in the bridal industry and evening wear.
2. You should start fittings at least  month and a half prior to wedding if time is permitted.
3. You should pay a flat fee for your alterations, that includes the basic hem, taking in sides, a custom bustle and your fittings.
4. You should check out references.
5. For your first fitting you should have your shoes available as well as under garments as they may alter the fit of the dress.
A Stitch in Time has been around for the last 25 years. Anne Fiser was the alterations expert at Kleinfeld Beverly Hills then Saks Bridal until she went on her own and recruited her daughter, 15 years ago. Aside from custom bridal alterations, Anne Fiser and her daughter Olivia offer a very exclusive service for the Special Day!
Personalized dressers/stylists that come prepared with everything from steamers to sewing kits.
Anne and Olivia work with many event planners to insure peace of mind for the brides who want everything to be perfect. They steam, press, sew, remove stains and offer peace of mind. They come in few hours before getting ready, stay through pictures and leave once the bride is married and bustled ready for her grand entrance to her dream reception!
They have traveled all over the world and have worked with many celebrities and many cultures as well! They have been life savers and have saved the day on many occasions, from fixing ripped skirt hems, to sewing grooms pants that ripped and even sewn brides in their dresses right before walking down the aisle!
They pay attention to detail and every bride they have met has been thrilled to have them by their side!
