FAQ

  • Ideally, six to eight months before your wedding day. Earlier is always better to ensure your spot. Some brides reach out as soon as they say “yes to the dress” and we love that!

  • We usually book one to three fittings over a two to three month period. The first fitting can happen anywhere between twelve to eight weeks before the big day, with final touches generally wrapped up three weeks before. Rush timelines can sometimes be accommodated.

  • Bring the shoes you’ll wear on the day, and any undergarments or shape-wear you plan to use. These details affect how your dress fits and falls, so having them with you is key!

    Opt for nude-toned undergarments (not white) as they are less visible under the dress and in photos.

  • Like the tide, our bodies ebb and flow and we hold apace for that. Booking early secures your spot, but fittings are timed close enough to your day to honour any changes.

  • Alterations typically range from $400-$900+ depending on the complexity of the work. Gowns with lace, beading or full restructuring land on the higher end. We’ll go through everything at your consultation so you know exactly what to expect with no surprises!

  • We recommend bringing one person, as our space is limited and intimate.
