Words from happy
brides
After another seamstress told me my wedding dress couldn't be altered properly to my size, I decided to get a second opinion before moving on. I'm so grateful I did, because Mrs. P worked a miracle and told me it was easy! She's a bridal magician - there is absolutely no evidence on the outside that my dress was taken down three sizes.
She and Susanna are both so kind and easy to work with, paying close attention to every detail and understanding when my streetcar ran late. The pricing is unbelievably low for how much time she spent, and communication was so clear. Highly highly recommend!

How Much Will My Bridal Alterations Cost?Planning your perfect wedding just got easier! Our bridal alteration services come with clear, upfront pricing—no hidden fees. Alteration costs for brides typically range between $500 and $1,000, with additional charges for dresses requiring extensive hemming (5+ layers) or significant resizing. For example, resizing a dress from size 12 to size 6 requires an in-person fitting to assess feasibility and provide a final estimate. If we’re able to assist, an additional $200 to $400 may apply for the resizing process. Please note: We do not offer fabric sourcing. You must provide any extra fabric you'd like to incorporate. To get started, email us at mrs.pstitches@gmail.com with the details of your dress and photos, and we'll happily provide a virtual quote promptly!

A rush fee will be applied. Rush Fees as Followed: Between 1-2 months out: $250 Between 2-3 weeks out: $375
-
How Long Do Bridal Alterations Take?Great question! The number of fittings depends on the specific dress. We recommend planning for up to three fittings (after your initial consultation) and scheduling your first fitting about 2–3 months before the wedding. This will give us plenty of time to ensure everything is perfect for your big day. Keep in mind that not everyone will need three fittings—it usually takes between one and three to achieve the ideal fit.
-
What Can't You Do?We do not do the following: - Custom-to-fit dresses - Reconstruction of dress (ONLY alterations and repairs) - Fabric sourcing or matching. You must provide the material to us as we won't be able to travel, source, and match your needed fabric. A designer should be able to help with the above.

Please let us know beforehand as we allow a MAXIMUM of 3 people per visit, including yourself as our home is small.
