Wedding Dresses cannot be rushed and require a minimum of 6 weeks from the initial fitting.
3. The fitting
Here’s what to bring to your fitting:
SHOES: You MUST bring your shoes, we cannot hem your dress without them! If your shoe height changes after hemming has been completed, additional cost will be incurred.
UNDERGARMENTS: All undergarments you plan to wear such as Spanx or shapewear
NO BRA (YAY!): Do not worry about finding a bra! We will take care of the girls with our own supplies so don’t spend any time looking for the right bra!
4. Pricing
We know bridal alterations can be scary but we’re trying to cut down on all the unknowns and prices is a big one! Click here to check out our full pricing page to get a feel for what you can expect.
At your fitting we will give you an exact quote before you leave for all services to be completed.
Due to the complexity of the alterations and the time invested in completing them; 25% of the quote cost of services will be due at the end of the first fitting.
5. Custom alterations
You want to add a teal velvet corset to the back of your vintage wedding dress you found on Etsy? No problem!
Need a little more lining in the front because it turns out that lace is a liiittle more sheer than you thought? Easy!
We get tons of custom requests and are ready for yours no matter what it is!
Bring photos, fabric, colors, and general inspiration with you to your appointment so we can start talking about how to make your bridal dreams come true!
6. Family and friends are welcome
Friends and family are welcome to come to any or all of your appointments. We recommend 2 guests or less in addition to the bride.
7. Your final fitting
We’ll make sure you know exactly when the dress will be done before you leave the shop after your first fitting. Plan to pick a time and date for the next or final fitting when you come for your first appointment.
Don’t worry, we’re flexible! We can always reschedule, we just like to keep a date on the calendar for work flow planning purposes.
Payment of 25% of the quoted price will be due duirng the first fitting appointment. The remaining 75% will be due upon final pick-up of your dress.

“Absolutely amazing! Tallgrass was recommended to me by the bridal shop I bought my wedding dress from. I drove 2 hours to come to this shop after reading reviews on numerous seamstresses. I ended up choosing a multi-point French bustle, which looked much better than the American or single point French bustle. I didn’t realize it at the time, but apparently Tallgrass is one of the only seamstresses in OK that does multi-point bustles. I would absolutely recommend Tallgrass to any bride.”
We’d love to help.
