Olga's Alteration Services

ARE THERE FOR

YOU!

AND OLGA IS PLEASED TO
HELP YOU!
Business is open by appointment only!

Hi,

My name is Olga, and I have been tailoring since I was a child. As I grew older, I got a Sewing and Fabric Alterations Professional certificate to pursue my passion.

I have always liked sewing, but what started my business was my daughter's wedding dress. We ordered her wedding dress online and when it arrived it required serious alterations to make it fit well. After going through this experience and seeing the emotional rollercoaster a bride goes through looking for a perfect gown and then having it fitted made me open up my own alteration services business. I enjoy working with people and helping them look their best in their clothing and offer competitive prices and quality.

My business runs from a home based office. To ask a question feel free to email or call me. To book an appointment please use my scheduler!

Sincerely,

Olga

WHAT TO EXPECT: WEDDING DRESS ALTERATIONS

I'm excited to help you achieve the perfect fit for your wedding dress! The alteration process typically involves three appointments to ensure everything is just right. Here's how it works:

  1. First Appointment - Consultation & Initial Fitting
    During our first appointment, I'll assess the fit of your gown, pin any necessary adjustments, and discuss the alterations needed. Please bring your wedding shoes and any undergarments you plan to wear so I can take precise measurements.
  2. Fitting Appointment
    At least two weeks after your first appointment, we'll have a second fitting to check the progress of the alterations. This allows me to fine-tune the fit and make any final adjustments.
  3. Final Fitting & Pickup
    At your last appointment, you'll try on your gown to ensure everything fits perfectly before taking it home. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, confident, and absolutely beautiful on your big day!
SCHEDULING YOUR APPOINTMENTS

To keep everything on track, I recommend booking all three appointments for wedding dress alterations as soon as you schedule your first fitting. This ensures enough time for each step and a stress-free experience leading up to your wedding. I can't wait to bring your dream dress to life!

Bridesmaids, flower girls and men's suits must be here two months prior to wedding.

Items that are needed sooner than that will be subject to a PRIORITY SERVICE CHARGE.
