Your Gown, Your Investment in Confidence

Your wedding gown is more than just a dress — it’s a once-in-a-lifetime moment brought to life. Alterations are not simply adjustments; they are the final act of design, custom-tailored to your body, your movement, and your vision. The investment you make reflects expert craftsmanship, meticulous technique, and the confidence you’ll feel when your dress fits like it was made for you.

Why Alteration Investment Matters

Every gown is unique — from the structure beneath the bodice to the way layers of tulle fall to the floor. Because of this, alteration work varies in scope and complexity. What may appear subtle on the outside often requires intricate precision beneath the surface to preserve the gown’s integrity. 

By prioritizing skill over speed, artistry over shortcuts, and precision over guesswork, your investment ensures:

• A gown that complements your shape and posture

• Details that move comfortably with you

• Seamwork that honors delicate fabrics, lace, and beading

• Confidence and ease from your first fitting to the altar

Typical Investment Ranges

While each gown is individually assessed, most brides’ investments fall within these general ranges:

• Refined tailoring — beginning around $400

• Most brides’ alteration plans — typically $600–$800

• Custom work or reconstructive/restyling projects — beginning at $2,000+

Your Personalized Plan Begins With a Consultation

During your first fitting, we assess your gown top-to-bottom, discuss your goals, and walk through every detail of the process. You’ll receive a transparent plan before any work begins, so you know what to expect and why each element matters.

A Refined Experience Rooted in Trust

At Sewing Hands Alterations, specialization matters. We devote ourselves to bridal and formalwear because this work demands time, respect, and an expert touch. Trust means knowing your gown will be cared for by someone who understands its construction, its purpose, and how it should make you feel.
