Whether you’ve purchased your wedding gown at a high-end bridal salon, the sales rack at a shop that specializes in one-offs, have scored a designer gown second-hand, or want to wear a family heirloom or vintage store find when you go down the aisle, it’s highly likely your gown will require some alterations. Few brides are aware that the price of their wedding gown at a bridal salon does not include alterations, which can quickly add up. Even in Manhattan, wedding dress alterations experts are hard to come by, so locating such a paragon then arranging for fittings becomes yet another item on your already lengthy To-Do list. Preparing for your wedding can be overwhelming without the added concern over your dress fittings. To minimize your stress levels and to ensure an optimal outcome, entrust your wedding dress alterations in NYC to Winzer Cleaners. We’ve been the toast of Broadway for over 115 years, tasked with the responsibility of cleaning and maintaining costumes for countless theatrical productions, and we have not missed a curtain up yet!
Winzer Cleaners is renowned for our professional wedding dress alterations. In NYC there are many cleaning establishments, but only one Winzer Cleaners! Unlike fancy, high-end bridal salons, our fees are reasonable, and we make every effort to accommodate our bridal clients. Also unlike a bridal salon where there are many bridal fitting appointments in a day, at your consultation you will have the full attention of our expert seamstresses and tailors who will listen to your requests, and help you to assess your fitting needs. At your first consultation, you will know exactly the timeline you can expect and the number of fittings you will require. The overall cost, of course, will depend on what needs to be accomplished. Wedding gown alterations can range from hemming the dress, to taking in the sides, adding bust support, changing the neckline, or adding/shortening straps and sleeves. Making a belt, sash, or bustle, adding lace appliques, or embellishing with delicate beadwork as well the type of gown fabric, are also considerations that will influence the final cost.
Suffice it to say that today’s brides are often looking to save a few dollars wherever possible without sacrificing quality. That is another solid reason to contact Winzer Cleaners for the finest wedding dress alterations in NYC. One thing that cannot change, however, is your timeline for your fittings. Bridal salons expect you to book your fittings four to six months out from the day of your nuptials. At Winzer, that timeline is about two months, however we urge you not to wait until the last minute to schedule your consultation and to receive instructions for your first fitting appointment. Our goal is to custom fit your bridal gown to enhance your appearance and to make you feel confident and regal on your wedding day.
