Questions people ask
Can a dress be made bigger?
Sometimes, if there is extra fabric tucked inside the seams. The sewer will need to look inside the garment before saying yes.
Do I need to be there for a hem?
For pants and dresses a fitting gives the cleanest result, so wear the shoes you'll use. A simple repair like a button or a split seam can usually just be dropped off.
Can a neighbor alter a wedding dress?
Some can, but gowns with lace, beading or many layers take experience. Ask to see photos of formal wear they've altered, and leave plenty of time before the date.
