Alterations are an essential finishing touch to any gown as they make the gown truly yours. When purchasing a dress, we take your measurements to order you your standard size. However, alterations are needed to fine tune. Whether that means taking in a dress to make it smaller for your hips, bust, or waist (or maybe everywhere), add cups, hem the length, shorten straps, and add the bustle for your train. Alterations are just a standard part of the whole process, and nothing to stress over! As a Beloved bride you will work with one of our hand picked local seamstresses rather than offering alterations in house. We are always available by phone or email to discuss the fitting process in more detail. We would love to hear from you!
The best wedding dress seamstresses in Michigan own their own businesses. Our Beloved brides are extremely special to us, and so we only want them working with the highest rated, most experienced seamstresses. All of the seamstresses we recommend have amazing experience, and because they are independent you can see all of their online reviews and feedback from past brides. This allows for complete transparency in the process and you will know exactly who you are working with.
Your seamstress will be your advocate. We speak with our recommended seamstresses daily and will continue to support you once your wedding dress leaves our store. Should any concerns arise, your seamstress will contact us immediately so we can ensure that you are 100% happy with your wedding dress on your wedding day.
Beloved Bridal does not profit from your alterations cost. Working with independent contractors means that you will not be paying additional fees that other bridal shops would typically tack on to your alterations cost. Because we have no stake in your alterations scope or cost, we will ensure you order the closest possible size in your wedding dress to avoid any unnecessary alterations.
Your alterations budget & other personal factors will be taken into account. We will suggest whoever we think is the best fit for your gown and your personality, and ultimately you choose who you want to work with. We will also make educated recommendations that will fit your budget, location and schedule for a more personalized experience.
