The Ultimate Checklist for Wedding Dress Alterations

Your wedding day is one of the most important moments of your life, and having a dress that fits perfectly is crucial to feeling your best! At Miosa Bride, we offer in-house alterations to make your dream dress a reality. With over 25 years of experience and a team of skilled seamstresses, your dress will fit flawlessly. We also offer semi-custom services for those looking for that extra personal touch.


If you’re looking for the perfect alterations checklist, look no further! Today we’re covering the essentials for making your wedding dress fit like a glove. 

 

Schedule Your Fittings Early

Begin your alterations journey by scheduling your fittings well in advance. Aim to start your first fitting about 2-3 months before your wedding date. This timeline ensures that there’s ample time for any adjustments and last-minute tweaks.

 

Bring the Essentials

For each fitting, remember to bring the shoes and undergarments you plan to wear on your wedding day. These items are essential for accurate measurements and ensure that the hemline and bodice fit perfectly.

 

 

Communicate Your Vision

Be clear about your vision for your wedding dress. Whether it’s adjusting the length, altering the neckline, or adding sleeves, our skilled seamstresses can make your dreams come true. Don’t hesitate to bring photos or sketches to illustrate your ideas.

 

Consider Semi-Custom Modifications

If you’re looking to add a personal touch, consider our semi-custom services. These modifications can include adding lace, beading, or other embellishments to make your dress uniquely yours.

 

Attend Multiple Fittings

Expect to attend 2-3 fittings. The first fitting focuses on initial adjustments, while subsequent fittings fine-tune the fit. Be patient and trust the process, as achieving the perfect fit takes time and attention to detail.

 

 

Check for Comfort and Movement

During your fittings, ensure that your dress is not only beautiful but also comfortable. Practice walking, sitting, and dancing to make sure you can move freely and comfortably in your gown.

 

Final Fitting and Pick-Up

Your final fitting should take place about 2-3 weeks before your wedding day. This fitting ensures that all adjustments are perfect and that your dress is ready for your big day. Arrange to pick up your gown a few days before the wedding to allow time for any last-minute tweaks.
