The Fitting Process at Divine Bridal

Getting the fit right is what turns a nice gown into a gown that looks incredible. Here is how the fitting process works at the Macleod boutique:

First fitting (around two months before the event): the team assesses the gown and notes all adjustments needed

Second fitting (around one month before): adjustments are made and checked for a proper fit

Final fitting (around two weeks before the event): the gown is finished and ready for collection

All fittings happen in-house. The seamstresses handle everything from basic hem adjustments to more complex construction changes. They also accept gowns purchased from any other retailer. Pricing for alterations is listed on the debutante dress alterations page.
