Wedding dress alterations in Tallinn
A wedding dress usually needs more than one small stitch. Plan enough time, fittings and realistic changes.
Start with enough time
A wedding dress must look right in photos, move comfortably and hold securely through the whole day. That is why it should not be left to the final week.
Six to eight weeks gives room for surprises in lace, lining, corset structure and multiple fittings.
Common wedding dress alterations
The most common work includes hem length, waist shaping, bust support, straps and bustle handling. Lace dresses often require hand work because the pattern must be preserved.
Corset and multi-layer dresses take more time because each layer affects the others.

Bring the right shoes and underwear
Shoes determine length. Underwear or corset shape determines the bodice. Without them, measurements are guesses and a later fitting may show that work must be redone.
Bring everything that changes the silhouette.
Price depends on construction
A simple hem is one job; lace, multiple layers and corset structure are another. Photos help with an estimate, but the final quote comes after seeing the dress.
