Our Seamstress Referral Network Hero - Desktop Image

our alterations referral network

Alterations are a collaborative process between the client and the seamstress, often requiring multiple appointments, so it’s important to trust and have open communication with your expert. We recommend vetting your options 6-8 months ahead of your wedding date, as the best seamstresses will to book in advance, especially if your event is in peak season (May-October).

Below are some commonly asked questions to ensure a prospective alterations expert is a perfect fit:

 

  1. Do you have availability to alter a [wedding dress, bridesmaid dress, etc.] for [the wedding date]?
  2. What is the location of your studio? In a home, in a business, stand-alone, etc.
  3. Do you have a social media account/photos with examples of your work?
  4. If I have questions, what is the best way to communicate with you? Phone, text, email, etc.
  5. What should I expect in terms of payment structure? Deposit required, payment in full at the end, etc.
  6. Only if considering/requiring custom work in alterations: In addition to standard alterations, do you regularly do custom work? Adding sleeves, changing neckline, lining a bodice, etc.
