Scheduling an Appointment
All fittings are by appointment only and can be booked via the calendar below. All availability is listed. If there are no available appointments for the turnaround time, I am fully booked for orders for that time period. I am a single person shop and book out quickly. By booking an appointment, you agree to the listed policies below. Please thoroughly read this page.

Wedding Dress Fitting Information
Minimum of 3 months (90 days) out from the date needed for standard alterations, For alterations requiring custom work or redesign, a minimum of 4 months are required. (please account for bridal portraits, traveling, having the dress professionally steamed, etc., when booking the first fitting). If your dress falls under this timeline, please contact first before booking to inquire for rush.
*If your dress requires additional material for any custom work, it is recommended to order through the bridal shop you purchased your dress from to receive matching fabric. If your dress requires any custom work, you must contact first before booking to confirm availability. The turnaround will be longer than the standard 3 months, depending on the work.
There are typically three fittings, although, some dresses may require additional fittings for extensive alterations.
The first fitting is for any work being done to the straps, sides, and discussing any custom work. (estimated appointment time is 30 mins – 1 hr)
*Sides will be worked on after the first fitting to be tried on at the second fitting. If you are actively losing weight, I highly recommend booking the first fitting once you reach your goal. This avoids having to do the sides multiple times, which will add more to the cost. There is time for adjustments at the second fitting.
The second fitting is typically scheduled 4 – 6 weeks from the first fitting. At this fitting, the fit of the dress is checked. The hem and bustle are then pinned. Any adjustments are done during this fitting. (Exact shoes are required for this appointment. If you are wearing different shoes at your reception, please bring those as well for the bustle length. Estimated appointment time: 1 – 1.5 hrs)
The third fitting is typically scheduled 4-6 weeks from the second fitting. This fitting will be the final try on of the dress and you will be shown how to do the bustle. I recommend bringing someone that will be helping with the bustle to this fitting. If you do not have anyone in town, we can film it.
*For dresses with dates more than 3 months out, time between appointments may be more staggered to account for dresses with earlier wedding dates
*Please note that the initial appointment timeline above is the minimum time for wedding dress alterations.

Shop Policies
- Steaming services are not offered, just alterations. I recommend Prestige Cleaners for pressing and dry cleaning.
- Fittings are continuous, I ask that you do no enter more than 5 minutes before your scheduled appointment time.
- If you are more than 10 minutes late, the appointment will need to be rescheduled.
- I require at least a 48 hour notice of cancellation. Fittings are extremely limited and this allows me to fill the spot. Appointments can be cancelled or rescheduled through the emailed appointment confirmation or texting 843-475-0722.
- We reserve the right to refuse service when expectations are not inline with business procedures or offered services.
- Alterations are done exactly as they’re pinned, with exact measurements. It’ll fit exactly as it’s pinned and agreed to at the time of the fitting. If you decide after the alterations are completed, that you want a different length, taken in more or less than initially pinned, etc., it will be considered a new alteration and will be charged as such with a new due date.
- There is a one-month limit on any repairs from the time of pickup.
- All pickups are scheduled. You will receive a text the Monday of the week your order is due. Due to several orders being left, if I do not receive a response, your order will be put on hold and will need to be scheduled for a later confirmed pickup date.
- There is a 3-month hold policy on orders left without payment. After then, the order will be considered abandoned and will no longer be available for pickup. It’ll either be sold to recoup the loss or donated.
- Pets are not allowed inside the shop. The only exception is for a service animal.
- Although I love little ones, I kindly ask that no children under 12 are brought into the shop as there are fragile items, heavy machinery, and sharp objects present. This makes for an unsafe environment for them to wander around in while your fitting is taking place. (exception if someone is brought in to supervise during the fitting or they’re secured in a stroller).
