Types of Bridal Gown Alterations You May Need for Your Wedding Day
Since you were a little girl, you dreamt of your special day and always knew exactly the style of wedding gown you will wear. You found it at a bridal salon on their sales rack and want to tweak it to fit the image you’ve held in your mind for so many years. Cameo by Copeland Cleaners wants to share your vision and help make it your reality. When you are seeking the finest bridal alterations in NYC, follow your friends and family’s lead and bring your gown to our professionals for your wedding dress alterations. In NYC there are many bridal gown stores, but only one Cameo by Copeland Cleaners. Here at our premises, you will be treated like family- you and your gown will receive the attention you both deserve. In this posting, let’s review the types of wedding dress alterations our talented seamstresses can employ to transform your gown from ‘off the rack’ into one-of-a-kind- just like you!
What can you expect when you bring your gown to Cameo by Copeland Cleaners for bridal alterations? In NYC it is a common request for brides to ask to have your gown altered by adjusting the hem up or down, taking in the side, and trimming darts to achieve a ‘like a glove’ custom fit. By tailoring your wedding gown to your exact measurements, not only will your dress fit perfectly, but it will also align with your expectations of your appearance at your nuptials and make you feel especially beautiful. Whatever tailoring is required, plan on an initial visit and possibly two additional fittings to ensure your gown is ‘just right’. Be sure to schedule your first fitting two months prior to your ceremony and your final fitting appointment at least two weeks before your wedding day. Be sure to bring the shoes you will wear to your wedding, as well as your bridal undergarments. This way your dress will support and shape your figure, ideally accentuating your form, and fall to just the right length to avoid a potential tripping hazard.
More extensive alteration requests will require more time, but just about anything is possible. For example, our tailors and seamstresses can make more customizations such as adding straps or any length of sleeve. We can create an asymmetrical style with one sleeve, adjust a train, apply lace appliques, beading, sequins, palettes, buttons, create a bustle to prevent your train from dragging, add pickups to hike your hemline once the ceremony is over and dancing at the reception begins. While Cameo by Copeland Cleaners is the toast of brides for our wedding dress alterations in NYC, we do expect a few considerations from our clients: Please inform our staff of any developments that can create significant design changes such as a pregnancy, substantial weight loss or gain. As you shop, remember it is easier for our staff, and will require less time if you purchase a gown that is too big rather than too small.
