Another tip we tell our brides is to always have inspiration pictures! Pictures can really help our team because everyone may not have the same knowledge or be able to articulate the specific style they prefer. When you're emailing, inquiring, or coming to a fitting, make sure to bring a few photos of inspiration that you've collected. This will help your us understand exactly the kinds of colors and styles that you want. Photo by Bride:

"Real talk: my dress was wayyyy too big when it first arrived. I couldn't have walked down the aisle in it if my life had depended on it. I'm pretty sure Courtney had to take apart more seams on this dress than she left alone, but oh did she work a miracle (four fittings later!)! My dress is a crepe Theia sheath with an illusion back, and she made it fit perfectly! Courtney is so down to earth and easy to talk to and honestly, I miss our once-monthly fittings. I'm so happy for her new studio space and can't wait to see her business continue to grow - I am so happy I reached out to Courtney (at the referral of both BHLDN and Lovely Bride Philly, who graciously helped me find an alterer even though I bought my dress in another state!). Definitely one of my vendor team VIPs. Strongly recommend reaching out to her before anyone else to take care of your alterations. I cannot say enough good things about her. I felt so confident on my wedding day and got a million complements on my dress. I'll say it -- I feel bad for you if you're using anyone else for your wedding dress alterations!
Final note: My bustle looked amazing and didn't break even though the crepe fabric was super heavy. You owe it to yourself to invest in a good alterer who can make your bustle look artistic and not like an afterthought, and who makes it strong enough to last through a night of dancing.
Advice: reach out to Courtney early! If you're like me and clueless, you might not know that September through October is super busy for weddings. If your date is somewhere around there, start on alterations sooner rather than later. (My date was March so it didn't impact me, but wanted to share the feedback just in case it helps another bride!)" - Erin L.
