Bridal Dress Alterations

Your wedding gown should feel as beautiful as it looks. At LVA BRIDE, alterations are an essential part of creating the perfect bridal fit - refined, comfortable, and completely personalized to you.

All alterations are completed in-house by our bridal seamstress, who specializes in wedding gowns, corsetry, delicate fabrics, and detailed gown construction. Every adjustment is done with care to preserve the original design while ensuring the gown fits flawlessly.

When to Start Alterations

Bridal alterations typically begin 8-10 weeks before the wedding day.

If you did not purchase your gown at LVA BRIDE, we would still be happy to welcome you for bridal alterations and fittings. Our in-house seamstress works with both LVA BRIDE gowns and dresses purchased from other bridal boutiques, ensuring every bride receives a flawless fit and personalized experience.

How the Process Works

Most brides will need around 3 fittings, depending on the gown and the alterations required.

The process may include:

  • Hem adjustments
  • Corset and bodice refinements
  • Strap or sleeve modifications
  • Bustle creation for the train
  • Fit and comfort adjustments

Each fitting allows the gown to be tailored step by step until every detail feels just right.

What to Bring to Your Fitting

For the most accurate fit, we recommend bringing:

  • Your wedding shoes
  • Shapewear or undergarments you plan to wear on the wedding day

These details help ensure the final silhouette and proportions are perfect.

Alteration Pricing

Alterations are charged separately and typically range from $500 to $1,500 depending on the gown and the complexity of the work.

Custom design changes and more detailed modifications are quoted individually after the first fitting.

By Appointment Only

Alterations and fittings are available by appointment only.

At LVA BRIDE, this final stage is more than tailoring - it’s the process that brings your entire bridal look together with precision, comfort, and attention to every detail.
