Bridal Alterations PolicyCongratulations on your upcoming wedding! This is such an exciting time, and Tad More Tailoring is honored to be a part of your journey by ensuring your gown fits beautifully. To provide the highest quality service, we ask that you review a few important guidelines below.
At Tad More Tailoring, your satisfaction and transparency are our top priorities. If you would like a pricing estimate before any alterations begin, please request a consultation in the appointment notes and let us know at the beginning of your appointment. During this consultation, we’ll review your gown and provide a detailed pricing overview before pinning any alterations.The standard turnaround time for bridal alterations is nine weeks at Tad More Tailoring. If you need your dress completed in less than 9 weeks, our sewing staff can accommodate that but there will be an associated rush fee dependant on how fast the alterations must be completed.
Note: If you decide not to proceed with alterations after the gown has been pinned, a $50 unpinning fee will apply. This fee covers the care and time involved in pinning your gown and ensuring it returns to its original condition if alterations are not performed.
To ensure a precise fit, please have the following items ready at your appointment:
The Correct Shoes: We require the exact shoes you plan to wear on your wedding day for any hemming or bustling. This is essential for achieving the correct length and fit. (Exception: For fittings with flats or bare feet only.)
Undergarments and Shapewear: Please bring any special undergarments or shapewear you plan to wear with your gown. These items may significantly impact the fit, so they are required at the fitting. Without them, we may need to reschedule the appointment to ensure the best results.
Tad More Tailoring is dedicated to delivering a perfect fit based on the items provided at your fitting (shoes, undergarments, etc.). If these items change after alterations are completed, we cannot guarantee the fit. Any adjustments made due to changes in shoes, undergarments, or shapewear will be subject to additional charges.
We are responsible for the fit of the specific alterations requested. If you later decide to add new alterations to a different part of the gown, or if alterations fall within a rush timeframe, an additional fee will be applied.
To ensure a perfect fit, it is important to maintain a stable weight from your initial fitting through to your wedding day. Tad More Tailoring is not responsible for any fit issues that may arise due to weight fluctuations after the initial fitting appointment. If additional alterations are required to adjust the fit due to weight changes, these will be treated as new alterations and will incur additional charges.
To ensure the highest quality, please return for a fitting within two weeks from the date we contact you to let you know your alterations are complete. During this fitting, any necessary adjustments can be made. After the fitting, please plan to take your gown with you unless further alterations are required.
Important: Once you remove your gown from Tad More Tailoring's premises, you agree that the alterations are complete and meet your specifications. Any additional changes requested after pickup will incur additional fees.
By completing the information below, you confirm that you have read and agree to the above terms and conditions, as well as our damaged garment and privacy policies.
