Alterations Service Policy
For Desiree's Custom Sewing

Below is a list of guidelines in my alterations service policy.

1. Bring to all fittings: Everything you plan to wear the day of your wedding including your shoes, bra, body shapewear, and petticoat slip. Since not having these things can cause incorrect adjustments, if you forget to bring something, I will have no choice but to reschedule the fitting.


2. Since I work from my home there is limited space. Because of this I would prefer you bring only 1 guest to your fittings. For bridal party alterations I can do 2 people per appointment.


3. Most fittings for brides last 45 minutes to 1 hour. Bridesmaids, mother of the bride and flower girls fittings are about 30 minutes. Most alterations require only one fitting and then you come back to pick up. More complicated changes may require scheduling additional fittings.


4. Prices include your fitting times. For Brides: Initial fitting, second fitting (if necessary), a final try-on counts as a fitting if adjustments are needed, otherwise this appointment will be your pickup. For formals and attendant gowns: initial fitting, second fitting (if I find it necessary), final try-on will count as a fitting if necessary and then final pick up. Any additional fittings or try-ons that are not required by me, will be charge a fitting fee.


5. Deposits are due at the initial fitting. The balance is due at final fitting or pickup, which ever comes first.


6. Missed Appointments: If you need to reschedule your appointments a phone call will be greatly appreciated. If you are running more than 15 minutes late, please give me a call. You may need to be rescheduled if some one is scheduled right behind your appointment.


7. Postponed weddings: Call as soon as you know the wedding is not going to take place. Unfortunately no deposits will be refunded if work has begun. If work has not begun a fitting fee of $25 will be charged and then the remainder of the deposit will refunded.


8. Abandoned garments: Every effort will be made to contact you several times by phone and then by mail. Your garment will be considered abandoned when it has not been picked up 6 months after the date on the ticket.

Having this alterations service policy has helped both my clients and myself maintain a good working relationship. Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated!"
