Alter My Dress at Your Place

Your dress needs alterations. Your schedule doesn't.

A fitting that fits your life

Your dress deserves expert attention. Getting to the fitting should not require navigating traffic, searching for parking, or reorganizing your entire day.

Alter My Dress at Your Place offers private fittings at homes and offices throughout our service area. We assess the garment, discuss fit and design possibilities, take the necessary measurements, and coordinate the alteration process from fitting through completion.

Whether you are preparing for a wedding, formal event, professional engagement, or a new life for a meaningful garment, we make the experience more personal—and much more convenient.

‍

Skip the trip—not the expertise

Save time

Avoid the drive, the parking search, and time away from everything else on your calendar.

Fit in your own space

Try on your garment where your shoes, undergarments, accessories, and other wardrobe pieces are already within reach.

Enjoy greater privacy

Receive focused, one-on-one attention in the comfort of your home or the convenience of your office.

Simplify special occasions

Make fittings easier to coordinate when you have multiple garments, a demanding schedule, or an important event approaching.

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.”

Frequently asked questions

Are the alterations completed at my home or office?

The fitting and consultation take place at your location. Sewing, dyeing, reconstruction, and other technical work are generally completed in the Alter My Dress studio. Our team will explain garment transportation and follow-up arrangements during the appointment.

Is every Alter My Dress service available on location?

Most services can begin with an on-location fitting or consultation. Suitability depends on the garment, the requested work, and the tools or environment needed to evaluate it properly. We will review your request before confirming the appointment.

Is custom dyeing performed at my location?

No. We can evaluate the garment, discuss color and design goals, and begin the intake process at your location. Dye testing and dye services are completed in a controlled studio environment.

What does the $100 appointment fee cover?

The fee covers routine travel, parking, appointment preparation, and bringing the fitting experience to your home or office. It is separate from alteration charges and does not apply toward the $550 minimum.

How do I know whether my address is within the service area?

Submit your full service address through the appointment form. Our team will review it and confirm eligibility before finalizing the appointment.

How many fittings will I need?

The number of fittings depends on the garment and complexity of the work. Wedding dresses often require more than one fitting. Your fitting schedule and the location of any follow-up appointments will be discussed after the initial evaluation.

What is the cancellation policy?

Alter My Dress requires at least 48 hours' notice when canceling or rescheduling an appointment. Contact our team as soon as possible if your plans change.

"Priscilla and her team are great. I got my dress perfectly altered, and she is very responsive. She even honored the lower price she had quoted me because I reached out so early that her going rate had changed. I definitely recommend for wedding dresses!"
