What does the fitting process look like?
My studio is located in the Madhouse Multi-Arts building on Main St in Greenfield
When you're ready to book your appointment you can do so through the booking tab here on my website. That will tell you all the information you need to know about how to find my studio. My space is located inside the Madhouse Multi-Arts Building in Greenfield, a large brown stone building just past the YMCA going out of town. There is street parking, and a few spots out back. I will meet you at the back door of the building and show you to my studio.
Time for your first fitting! A few things to remember: your dress, shoes, proper undergarments, and a face mask (if required by the state at the time of fitting). Because my space is so small, I recommend that you bring only one person at a time.
When you come into my space I'll ask you some questions about your gown, double check that you brought your shoes, and take any measurements necessary. Once that's done, I'll have you put on your gown. We'll go over what needs adjusting and I'll point out any areas that seem ill-fit. This is your time to let me know how you want to look and feel on your wedding day. I'll pin where it's needed and take lots of notes. If you're on a budget, I'm happy to be candid with you about what alterations are necessary and which are optional so you can choose your fit. If you have insecurities you want to cover up, please communicate that with me. I'm happy to help, but everyone is different and I never want to assume what someone wants changed.
After your fitting you will take off your gown and we'll hang it on my gown rack. At this point we'll go over alterations and how much everything is going to cost. If the costs exceed my previous quote by a large amount, I will warn you during your fitting so that we avoid surprises. All payment is due upfront at first fitting (I take cash, check, and Venmo) with the exception of more complicated alterations which are charged by the hour.
Finally, we'll schedule you for your next fittings. Generally this means a fitting and a pickup, however in certain cases a third fitting will be necessary. At your second fitting all alterations will be set but not finished. Once we've approved everything, I'll finish up your alterations for your pickup. If you've paid for pressing and steaming we'll schedule your pickup for several days before your wedding, so you don't have to worry about it getting wrinkled.
