Before your fitting

Planning an alteration at Elegant Stitch

How should I start?

Send a fitting request, call, text, or email with the garment, requested change, city, and any event or wear-by date.

What should I bring?

Bring the garment and the shoes, belt, shirt, or foundation pieces that change where it should sit. Reference photos can help explain the intended silhouette or length.

Scope, price, and timing

Details that shape an alteration plan

Can I get a price before a fitting?

Share clear details first. Fabric, lining, construction, beadwork, the requested change, and garment condition can all affect scope. The shop can then explain what must be inspected in person.

How long will the work take?

Timing depends on the garment, construction, requested changes, event date, and current shop capacity. Review the alterations timeline guide and share your deadline before work is accepted.

Is rush work available?

Rush capacity is not automatic. Review the rush alteration request guide, then contact the shop with the garment and exact deadline.

For a more useful price conversation, review the alterations pricing guide before sending photos or garment details.

For independent garment-care background, use the textile references and bring the sewn-in care label to the fitting.
