I recommend a minimum of three fittings for wedding outfits, which includes a toile fitting, a regular fitting and a final fitting one month before the wedding to set the hem and finalise the fit. For gowns that include corsets or embellished layers I recommend additional fittings.
Wedding outfits can get very expensive, but there are many ways that we can bring the cost down to meet your budget but keep your vision. Please get in touch to see what we can work out!
