Alteration Services

We offer alteration services for women's special occasion dresses, bridal wear, costumes and some clothing.   

Services we offer: Hemming, taking in or letting out seams to fit, strap adjustments, adding bra cups, dress bustles and dress restyling.   Correen was primarily a designer and dress maker long before she started taking alterations, so her mindset and methods are a bit more open to changes than the other alterations providers.     

Please make sure your item is new or freshly dry cleaned.  We do not handle dresses that have been worn or are dirty.

All alteration services are charged by the hour as all items are not created equal.  There is no way of accurately knowing how much time is involved until work begins but we will do our best to give you an estimate and keep you informed of any changes or issues that are encountered in the process.  

We charge $50-200 an hour for all alteration services and time is calculated from the point of fitting to the final pressing of the garment.  For Wedding Dresses, a $200 deposit is due at drop off.  For all other garments, we will invoice upon completion.  We will text your invoice when your garment is ready with that week's pick up times.  

Since our work is based on event dates, please trust that we are working hard to get all our clients ready for their events on time.  Phone calls and texts to check on statuses are a distraction that takes time away from processing your order.  We will contact you as soon as your garment is ready to go.  

Hourly rate is based on how much notice is given for your garment.    

• 1 week notice is billed at $200 an hour for wedding dresses and $100 for all other garments
• 2 week notice is billed at $150 an hour for wedding dresses and $50 for all other garments
• 3 weeks notice is billed at $125 an hour for wedding dresses and $50 for all other garments
• 4 weeks or more notice is billed at $75 an hour for wedding dresses and $50 for all other garments
