This appointment is for Brides that need the dress finished within 6 weeks of the appointment date.
Service Description
Rush Bridal Alterations Appointment (6 Weeks or Less) This appointment is for brides who need their dress completed within 6 weeks or less from the appointment date. Due to the shortened timeline, an additional rush fee will be added to the alteration cost. The rush fee typically ranges from $100–$600, depending on the dress, the amount of work needed, and the time frame. We strongly recommend calling or messaging before booking to confirm availability and ensure we can complete your dress on time. We specialize in bridal alterations and work with a wide variety of fabrics including satin, tulle, glitter, chiffon, lace, illusion, horsehair, and beading. With over 30 years of seamstress experience, we take pride in offering high-quality alterations at a much more reasonable price than most. Please feel free to check out our reviews. What to bring to your appointment: The shoes you plan to wear with your dress (required for hemming) Any undergarments you plan to wear, such as a bra, Spanx, petticoat, etc. We also offer sewn-in lift cups for $25—often easier and cleaner than finding a bra that won’t show. Important fitting notes: Please shower and wear deodorant before your fitting. White deodorant marks are easier to remove than lingering odors. Be cautious with self-tanner, makeup, lipstick, and foundation, as these can stain your dress and some stains are very difficult to remove from wedding gowns. Pricing & payment: Alteration estimates cannot be given without seeing the dress on you in person. Every dress, fabric, brand, and fit is different. Your first appointment is a free consultation, where we’ll discuss your vision, needed alterations, pricing, and recommendations. If you choose to move forward, a $200 deposit is required. The remaining balance can be paid in installments and is not fully due until pickup. Payment Policy: Cash or check preferred. Credit cards are accepted with a 3% processing fee. Please let us know if you need to reschedule your appointment. We look forward to working with you, and thank you for giving Sewing by Karen the opportunity to be part of your special day 💕
