Because one alteration can affect another, wedding gowns typically require 4 appointments. At the beginning Mollie determines how many fittings will be required, and the appointments for all of her subsequent fittings are scheduled on this first appointment.
This insures that you won’t wonder or worry about what comes next. You will KNOW, and be stress free!
The entire process entails:
1st Fitting and Consult
2nd Fitting
3rd Fitting
Upon completion, Mollie will text the bride with confirmation that her gown is finished.
4th Fitting
This insures that you won’t wonder or worry about what comes next. You will KNOW, and be stress free!
- You will be able to schedule other wedding appointments without the worry of conflicting dates
- You will not have to take time off work for gown fittings
- You will have time to arrange having others share the fitting experience with you if you wish
- You will have an exact timeline and also know what to expect at each fitting
- You will have time to make changes
The entire process entails:
1st Fitting and Consult
- The bride explains her concerns and what her vision is, including additions, design changes, anything!
- Options and suggestions are discussed
- Mollie then ‘diagnoses’ the fit of the gown, giving her recommendations for that perfect fit.
- The fit of the body (torso) of the gown is assessed and pinned. This includes addressing undergarments/bra cups/ corset bras/ inner waist bands, etc
2nd Fitting
- Check accuracy of the previous alteration
- If applicable, address previously discussed design changes
- Measure and pin the hem
3rd Fitting
- Check accuracy of hem.
- Discuss bustle options/suggestions
- Pin/measure bustle
Upon completion, Mollie will text the bride with confirmation that her gown is finished.
4th Fitting
- At this last appointment you will try on your gown for that last inspection.
- Mollie will teach your ‘bustle buddy’ how to dress you, and how to put up your bustle on your wedding day.
- The bustle buddy will practice putting the bustle up by herself (Mollie will stand by for coaching.)
- The finished bustle is approved.
- The bustle is taken down.
- When you are happy with everything, your gown is carefully packed for you to take it home.
