Alterations

At Alex Fashion & Bridal of Rochester, NY, we provide a wide range of alteration services for bridal gowns, bridesmaid dresses, prom dresses, and other formalwear! Please contact us to schedule a fitting or consultation.

 

FOR ALL CLIENTS: Please be prepared to bring the exact shoes and any shape wear or undergarments you will be wearing with the gown to your first fitting.

FOR BRIDES:  We typically start working with the dress three months before the wedding to allow ample time for the work. Please call to schedule first appointments as soon as possible.

Thank you for your understanding. We are always happy to accommodate everyone!
