Be the belle of the ball with professional prom dress alterations

One of the most memorable and exciting events of high school is attending the prom. This highly anticipated rite of passage not only celebrates the end of one chapter – either the close of the school year or the end of high school entirely – it heralds the beginning of adulthood and entering an uncharted territory of life.

As the big night draws near and the eagerness heightens, prom planning goes into full effect. With so much to think about, such as getting a date and choosing your hairstyle and makeup look, the dress ranks as the most important decision of them all.

Once you’ve found the perfect dress, it’s now time to personalize it with alterations that suit your specific style. Let’s take a deeper dive into why getting your prom dress altered is just as significant as choosing the right one.

Transform the Dress of Your Dreams

Most prom-goers think that after they’ve obtained their dress and accessories, there’s nothing more to do. However, many forget that refining their garment with alterations is the icing on the cake. The right adjustments can significantly improve the look and feel of the gown, giving you a customized fit for your frame. Some of the most common prom dress alterations that tailors and seamstresses can make include:

• Adding straps or sleeves
• Adjusting the hips and bust
• Taking in the waist
• Changing the length of the hem

Since not all garments fit exactly right when off-the-rack, skilled tailors can customize your prom dress to fit the shape of your body perfectly. They also offer expert advice on styling to help you create a polished look you’ll love. In fact, with just a few simple adjustments, tailors can transform your prom dress into a show-stopping number that you can’t wait to wear!

Easy and Streamlined Process

Your time is valuable, so we strive to minimize the number of fittings to two maximum. With more than 40-plus years of experience, our highly adept tailors and seamstresses normally get all the adjustments right the first time around. One of the most common alterations for a prom dress is adjusting the hemline. If your gown is too long, it can drag on the ground and get dirty. But if it’s too short, it can be uncomfortable and distracting. We can easily shorten or lengthen the dress to the perfect length for your height and shoes.

We can also take in or let out the waistline, making the dress fit your body flawlessly to give you the most flattering silhouette. Our team can adjust the bust to ensure your dress fits comfortably and securely, so you don’t have to worry about it slipping or rising at any point during your special night.

Additionally, we can add straps or sleeves to your dress if you desire more support or coverage, giving you the confidence to dance the night away without worrying about accidentally revealing too much.

Alterations is the cherry on top to make your Scala, Jovani, or Sherri Hill prom dress pop! But no matter the designer, brand, or label, we can customize any dress to make it a perfect fit for you. Just remember that it’s always best to schedule alterations well in advance of the event to avoid unnecessary stress.
