Wedding Gowns: Plan for Local Alterations
Plan for Local Alterations after receiving your dress
When you are planning your dress timeline, most wedding dresses need to be altered to fit you perfectly, so if you are ordering yours "made to order" in a standard sizing, include 3-4 months after you receive your dress, before your wedding date, to do local alterations for a perfect fit.
Made to Measure: Alterations
While a made to measure dress will be made to your specific measurements - if you are not measured locally in person in NYC, it may be good to plan for a buffer of time to get final alterations local to you if needed in case the measurements sent in aren't exact, or in case your measurements have changed since you sent them in. Ask your local tailor how long it might take to do final minor alterations- and add that in for your buffer time.
