What's included
The work behind the work.
Your wedding dress deserves a flawless fit. Nedybel Alterations & Tailoring specializes in bridal gown and bridesmaid dress alterations in Baldwin, NY, serving brides across Long Island. Our expert seamstress provides wedding dress hemming, bustles, resizing, strap adjustments, sleeve modifications, corset alterations, and custom bridal fittings. We tailor every gown to your unique body, ensuring you look and feel your best on your wedding day. Schedule your bridal fitting 8–12 weeks before your wedding for the perfect fit.
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.

The details
Good to know.
Bring your gown, the shoes and undergarments you plan to wear, and any inspiration photos. We measure and pin with your real foundation pieces so the finished fit is exactly what you'll see on the day. Bridesmaid dresses are adjusted with the same care and timeline as bridal gowns.
Lace and beadwork are hand-removed before seams are adjusted, then re-applied stitch by stitch — never cut through. Vintage and heirloom gowns get the same treatment, with matching threads and beads sourced where needed.
Heirloom restorations, sample-sale finds, online-order gowns, and bridesmaid dresses are all welcome. Most bridal parties complete alterations in three fittings spaced across the 8–12 weeks before the wedding.
Pricing
Most full bridal packages $450–$1,200
Every gown is quoted in writing at your first consultation, based on the work it actually needs — hems, bodice, bustle, and detail work are itemized so there are never surprises at pickup.
Simple single-service work (a hem or a bustle only) often falls below the package range.
