Mission Statement
We are pleased to offer alterations services for your convenience. We will make every attempt to make your alteration experience a positive part of your special occasion. It is essential that we work together so that we can effectively make the necessary alterations for you.
Customer Policy
Our alterations services are offered at reasonable prices. The prices are approximately what it costs us to provide the fittings and do professional alteration services. These fees are based on the "Standard Charges, Custom Fitting Services" provided by the National Bridal Service, as well as, comparable work done locally. Every effort will be made to inform you of the prices being charged prior to the work being done. There will be no "hidden" charges at the end of our services to you. We will expect half down or full payment to start alterations in the form of cash, check, credit card or money order.
