Good Morning, you fabulous fashionistas and dapper dudes (aka my Belles and Beaus)! Let's chat about alterations, darling! Oh, alterations, the secret sauce to making your wedding gown fit like a glove! Congratulations on snagging that drop-dead gorgeous gown, by the way. (Side note if you've yet to find it book an appt here). Ok Sorry Squirrel! Back to alterations! As you waltz down the path to your big day, remember that getting those alterations done is key to turning a dress into a show-stopping masterpiece that hugs your curves just right. Trust the experts here at Wedding Belles in Clarksville, TN to direct you to the perfect people to work their magic on your gown and make you shine like the star you are!
Hem Adjustments:
Alright, listen up y'all! Here's the deal - unless you are over 6 feet tall, you're gonna need a hem. Yup, it's just one of those unavoidable things in life. And hey, if you are over 6 feet, well, I'm totally envious of your height, but don't worry, we'll hook you up with a gown that's got that extra length for those never-ending legs! But for the rest of us, let me tell you, getting that hem adjusted is a total game-changer! Say goodbye to the risk of face-planting down the aisle and hello to that elegant, graceful glide. You want that gown to flow like a dream, not turn into a trip hazard. Oh, and here's a pro tip: always bring those killer shoes of yours to your fitting with the alterations specialist. Trust me, you want that hem to be on point for your big day!
Strap/Sleeve Alterations:
Alrighty, folks! Here's the deal - this is a must-have for 99.9% of the population. Listen up, if your dress comes with straps, you better tighten them up so they sit snugly and don't go on a wild ride during all the shenanigans! Have you ever had a bra strap that keeps falling off your shoulders and driving you crazy? Well that would be incredibly frustrating on your wedding day! And also, if you're rocking sleeves, brace yourself for some extra tinkering. Just like hems, sleeves always seem to have a growth spurt before the bride tries it on. Time to take them up and give 'em a little squeeze so they cozy up against your skin without cramping your dance moves or squishing your hugs. These tweaks guarantee your dress will hang on happily all day and night.
Taking in the Sides:
Let's face it, most brides are not cookie-cutter sizes - we're more like a beautiful jigsaw puzzle of measurements! So, when your top half is feeling a bit shy up in the North but your hips are living their best life down South, it's time for some gown magic. Picture this: a little nip and tuck here, a tweak and a pinch there, and voilà - hello, hourglass perfection! By adjusting the sides of your gown, you're not just altering fabric, you're sculpting a masterpiece that celebrates your curves like a work of art. So, embrace the tweaks, flaunt those natural curves, and get ready to slay the aisle like the fabulous puzzle piece you are!
Attaching a Bustle:
Planning to bust a move on the dance floor during your reception? Well, a long train might just trip you up! But fear not, the solution isn't to hack off that gorgeous train. Oh no ma'am! We'll add a bustle to keep your gown floor-length all around, ensuring you can dance the night away without any accidental dress disasters! With a bustle, you'll be able to groove freely without sacrificing an ounce of your gown's beauty. Let the dance floor be your playground, not a runway for dress mishaps!
Constructing Sleeves:
Turn a sleeveless dress into a fabulous work of art with some dainty sleeves that scream "fancy" and "funky," all while keeping you feeling like a million bucks. And guess what? You can pop those bad boys off whenever you're feeling the heat - just unsnap and voilà! At Wedding Belles in Clarksville, TN, we know our custom looks. We'll hook you up with a bonus applique package to complement your dress and connect you with a wizard alterations expert who'll bring your sleeve dreams to life. Whether you want long sleeves or off the shoulder our specialists can make it happen! It's like magic, but with fabric!
Additional Boning/Waist Stay:
Hey there, gorgeous! Ready to rock that strapless gown like a true queen on your big day? Worried your bust might bring the party down? Fear not! With some extra boning, we'll keep those girls up and dancing all night long! And why stop there? How about a waist stay that's basically a built-in bra to make sure that dress stays put, no matter how wild the celebration gets!

So get ready to slay that strapless look with confidence and style!
