Yes. All our dresses are made to order and while we take your body measurements, the dresses are not tailored to exact measurements but rather to standard or split sizes. These measurements ensure the closest size is chosen. Your dress is ordered based on sizing taken at your appointment and we cannot be responsible for changes in weight or body shape. Upon arrival, your dress will require alterations, such as sewing in bra cups, adjusting straps, positioning the waist correctly and hemming to the desired length. Alterations are not included in the dress price. Although we can recommend some local seamstresses, we cannot be responsible for their work.
