FAQs

The best time to schedule your wedding dress alterations is 2–3 months before your wedding, even if your gown fits beautifully today. Most wedding dresses need several fittings to create the perfect fit, and leaving enough time allows for thoughtful adjustments without unnecessary stress. At Ohana Bridal, our experienced bridal seamstresses take the time to make sure your gown feels just as incredible as it looks, so you can walk down the aisle feeling confident, comfortable, and completely yourself.

Most brides need 2–4 alteration appointments, depending on the gown and the changes being made. Every wedding dress is unique, and every bride’s body is too. During each fitting, we carefully fine-tune your gown until it fits exactly the way it should. Our goal isn’t just a dress that fits—it’s a wedding dress that moves comfortably, photographs beautifully, and feels like it was made just for you.

In many cases, yes. Wedding dress alterations can include taking in or letting out the bodice, shortening the hem, adding sleeves or straps, creating a bustle, adjusting necklines, adding modesty panels, or even completely redesigning certain details. Every gown is different, so we’ll carefully evaluate your dress during your consultation and recommend the best options to bring your vision to life while protecting the integrity of the gown.

Bring your wedding shoes, the undergarments you plan to wear on your wedding day, and any accessories that may affect the fit, such as a shapewear garment or veil. These details help us create the most accurate fit possible and ensure your wedding dress looks and feels exactly the way you imagined. If you haven’t chosen everything yet, don’t worry—we’ll guide you through what can wait and what you’ll need before your final fitting.
