Our Most Requested Bridal Alterations


While every dress and bride is unique, some bridal alteration requests are especially popular among Houston brides:


  • Hemming: Adjusting the gown length for different heel heights or to prevent tripping during the ceremony.
  • Bodice Resizing: Taking in or letting out the dress for the perfect fit through the bust and waist.
  • Strap Adjustments: Adding, shortening, or reshaping straps for better support or a new look
  • Bustle Creation: Adding French, ballroom, or American bustles so the train can be elegantly lifted for the reception.
  • Sleeve Additions: From delicate lace cap sleeves to full-length dramatic sleeves.
  • Neckline Alterations: Modifying the neckline shape for a more flattering or modest look.

Each of these services is performed with the utmost care, preserving the gown’s original beauty while enhancing comfort and movement.
