FAQ:-

What is ‘Couture Tailoring’?

It’s our signature alterations process.  With experience of over 35yrs between Misty & Susan, in fitting, tailoring, beading, pressing and quality control, we alter your wedding dress to perfection.  Your dedicated fitter will properly sculpt the dress in the bust, waist and hips to your liking in 2 fittings (more or less as needed).  The Couture Tailoring fit also includes a hem and bustle.

Undergarments & What to Wear

To properly fit your gown, you’ll need to know what undergarments you plan to wear on your wedding day.  We suggest that you bring a supportive bra or shapewear to each fitting appointment. If you are unsure about the bra, your fitter will advise you and you can purchase from Stephanie’s Boutique Lingerie in the Green Square. Besides properly fitting the dress through your bodice and hips, we will ensure that the hem is completed to your specifications and heel height. You want your dress to be the perfect length on your wedding day–that is why its important to bring your wedding shoes to each of your fitting appointments. With that, wedding shoes are required for all of your fittings. If you do not have the exact pair of shoes you’d like to wear on your wedding day yet, please make sure to bring along a pair of shoes that are the same style and height (think platforms for platforms, stilettos for stilettos, etc.). This way, your dress hem is the appropriate length and is fitted properly, as different styles of shoes change your posture and can alter the fit of your dress.   

What’s a Bustle?

While the custom fit and hem are in the works, your fitter will also discuss the best bustle options for your train.  A bustle gathers up the train of your dress to keep it from dragging on the floor during your dinner and reception.  There are a few bustle types to select from which can be secured with buttons and loops or ties.  You’ll work with your fitter and discuss different bustle options for your wedding dress.  At your final fitting, Misty will teach you and your bridesmaid or family member how to bustle your dress so you can dance the night away and some helpful tips for the special day. We want to you feel beautifully confident and comfortable.

When do you collect your beautiful gown?

After your final fitting, we will make arrangements with you, to collect the gown for your day or to travel with.  The gown is pressed, steamed and/ or packed with tissue paper so it maintains its shape. The dress will  be covered in an opaque garment bag and will be ready to step into on your wedding day.
