Frequently Asked Questions
How much do bridal and bridesmaid dress alterations cost?
The cost of bridal and bridesmaid dress alterations can vary widely depending on the style, construction, and fabric of the dress, as well as the complexity of the changes required.
Every gown is unique — some materials are easier to alter than others, and adjustments to one area of a dress may affect other parts as well. This is why it's difficult to provide an accurate estimate based on photos alone.
At Glenmore Alterations, we offer in-person consultations to properly assess your dress and discuss your needs. This allows us to provide a personalized quote and ensure you receive the best possible service.

What affects the cost of my alteration?
Several things can influence the price, such as the complexity of the work (like a simple hem compared to a full waist adjustment), the type of fabric, and the time required to complete the alteration. We’ll always discuss your options with you so there are no surprises.
How long will my alteration take?
Timing depends on the kind of work needed, how much work there is, and whether you need it rushed. We’ll provide a clear timeline when you book with us and keep you updated along the way if anything changes.
How many fittings will I need?
For simpler alterations, one fitting is often enough. For more detailed work—especially with wedding dresses or formal gowns—you may need two or more fittings to ensure everything is absolutely perfect.
When should I book my fittings?
For special pieces like wedding dresses or outfits for important events, we recommend booking your alterations well in advance. This gives us plenty of time to perfect every detail and make sure you feel amazing on your special day.
