What kind of alterations should I expect when purchasing a wedding dress?

Most bridal shops offer alterations to ensure your dress fits perfectly. Common adjustments include hem length, taking in or letting out seams, and adjusting straps. • You might also consider adding custom elements, like lace or beading, to make the gown uniquely yours. • It's a good idea to discuss alteration options during your initial appointment, so you have a clear understanding of the process and any associated costs.
