FOUNDATION ALTERATIONS
Every bridal alteration begins with precision. Our foundation services ensure your gown sits, moves, and photographs exactly as it should.
– Hemming and length adjustments (church, chapel, and reception lengths)
– Taking in or letting out: bust, waist, hips
– Bustle design and installation (American, French, Austrian, ballroom)
– Strap, sleeve, and shoulder strap adjustments
