Formal, Prom & Evening Gown Alterations
Prom, gala, pageant, mother-of-the-bride — fit that turns heads.
What's included
The work behind the work.
Evening wear lives or dies by fit. We tailor formal gowns, prom dresses, pageant pieces, and mother-of-the-bride looks with the same care we bring to bridal.
Every piece is handled by a senior couturier from intake to final press. We document the work at each fitting, source matching threads, beads and lace where needed, and finish by hand. Nothing leaves the atelier without a steam press and a final QA pass.
Included
- Hems, sides & bust adjustments
- Strap & corset conversions
- Bead-matched re-embellishment
- Quick-turn for last-minute events
The details
Good to know.
Prom, gala, pageant, and mother-of-the-bride pieces all get the same couture-level care as bridal — hand-finished seams, bead-matched re-embellishment, and a final steam press.
Common work includes hems, side and bust adjustments, strap and corset conversions, and neckline changes. Bring the shoes you'll wear so the hem lands exactly right.
For pageants and competitions we can plan multiple fittings around your event calendar, including quick-turn work for last-minute wardrobe changes.
Pricing
Itemized quotes, quick-turn available
Formal and prom alterations are quoted per piece at drop-off or consultation — hems, sides, straps, and bustle-style pickups are itemized so you only pay for what the dress needs.

Asked at almost every fitting.
How fast can you alter a prom dress?
Standard work usually takes one to two weeks; quick-turn appointments are often available for last-minute events. Call us with your date.
Do you alter pageant and competition gowns?
Yes — we regularly fit pageant and stage pieces, including bead-matched repairs and strap or corset conversions.
Should I bring my shoes to the fitting?
Yes — the exact heel height decides where the hem lands. Bring the shoes and any shapewear you'll wear.
