Why Custom Tailoring Matters

Formalwear isn’t made to fit everyone off the rack—and trying to force a dress that doesn’t fit can ruin your confidence, comfort, or the look of the outfit. Tailoring matters because:

• A perfect fit boosts comfort and confidence
• Tailoring highlights your natural silhouette
• Expert work helps preserve delicate fabrics
• Alterations allow you to repurpose or rewear dresses
  

Everything at Alter My Dress is customized to fit both your body and the event you’re dressing for.

Alter My Dress Client Testimonial:

“My dress was perfectly altered by my second fitting (three weeks later) and the dress fit like a glove. Priscilla's prices are transparent and she does not try to push anything on you. Super happy with the service and outcome of my dress.”
