VIRGINIA BUELVAS BRIDAL Claimed

Basic Alterations:
Basic alterations such as hemming the length, adjusting the sides of the gown, and fine-tuning the fit of the dress are essential for the gown to look its best.

Major Alterations:
Extensive changes can be made with enough time, such as adding details like off-the-shoulder straps, sleeves, train length, lace appliqués, beading, buttons, and a bustle (to keep the train from dragging behind the bride while dancing).

As bridal experts, we are happy to take on complex designs such as those that are fully beaded.

The rule of thumb of alterations.
Garments should be slightly too big for you, rather than too small. This is required to achieve a precise fit.

Never order a smaller dress as weight loss motivation. Altering a dress that is too small for you is far more complicated and occasionally unperformable. Instead, consider a gown with structure that may have a built-in corset, which can be easily tightened or loosened.

Please do not wear fake tan or makeup to your fittings!

Two fittings are enough to get most wedding dresses that require basic alterations fitting beautifully. Major alterations may need three fittings and in very rare cases more.

Each fitting will take approximately 30 minutes to maximum an hour.

Yes, appointments are required to ensure each bride receives personalized attention and a private, relaxed experience during her consultation.

Appointments usually last between 60 and 90 minutes, giving you plenty of time to explore styles and find “the one.”
