Wedding dress alterations: here’s how we make sure your dress fits perfectly
You have found your wedding dress. A special moment that has often been looked forward to for months. But even though the dress already feels completely like your dress, in most cases it is not ready to go home with you right away.
In fact, almost every wedding dress is tailored to fit your body and your way of moving perfectly.
At Koonings, we don’t see altering a wedding dress as an extra step, but as an essential part of the experience. This is precisely where fit, comfort and appearance make the difference.
Why a wedding dress gets altered
Wedding dresses are made in standard sizes, while no body is the same. Even if the size seems right, a dress can be just a little too long, a little looser or need extra support.
By altering the dress, we make sure it really fits like a glove.
A well-fitting dress gives peace of mind. You can move freely, walk, sit and dance without worrying about how the dress fits. And perhaps more importantly, you feel confident because everything is right.
How the alteration of a wedding dress is done
At Koonings, we work with several appointments so that there is plenty of time and attention to your dress.
During your first appointment, you choose your wedding dress. From then on, we will guide you through the entire follow-up process.
During the fitting, we look together at how the dress fits and how it can fit even better. We pin the dress and pay attention to how the fabric moves and how you feel in it.
At the last appointment, you try on your dress again and we check that everything fits exactly as intended. Only when everything is right will you take your dress home.
What adjustments are often made
Modifying a wedding dress is all about the details. Small adjustments often make the biggest difference.
- The length of the dress to match your shoes
- Resizing or adjusting waist and bust
- Adjusting straps, sleeves or closures
- Additional support, such as cups
These modifications ensure that the dress not only looks beautiful, but also wears comfortably.
Trust the process
The alteration of a wedding dress is done step by step. Small changes can affect the fit, which is why we take the time to do everything carefully.
The most important thing is that you tell us what you feel. If something is not quite right or if you have doubts about something, we will look for a solution together.
That way, we make sure that the end result is not only beautiful, but also suits you completely.
More than just the dress
At Koonings, it doesn’t stop with the fitting and alteration of your dress. We think it’s important that you feel guided throughout the entire process.
From the moment you find your dress to the moment you pick her up and beyond.
Because in the end, it’s not just about the dress, it’s about how you feel in it
