Slight weight fluctuation is relatively common amongst brides. For this reason we recommend that your fittings are scheduled relatively close to your wedding date to ensure an accurate fit. Typically, your custom made gown will be ready for final alterations during the last 2-3 weeks before your wedding or departure date. Most brides pick up their gowns as early as 2 weeks before their wedding and late as 1 day before. We will work closely with each bride to determine the appropriate scheduling.
