More Than Alterations – Custom Wedding Dress Modifications & Design

Every bride has a unique vision for her wedding day.

Sometimes that vision requires more than a simple alteration.

Many brides fall in love with a dress but wish they could change a few details to make it truly their own. Others have inherited a family gown and want to modernize it while preserving its sentimental value.

A few months before her wedding, a bride walked into Gunit's Boutique carrying the dress she had fallen in love with.

"It’s beautiful," she said, "but it doesn’t feel like me yet."

The straps slipped, the fit wasn't quite right, and she wished the gown had a little more lace and sparkle. Together, we adjusted the fit, added delicate lace details, enhanced the beadwork, and tailored the dress to her vision.

When she returned for her final fitting, she looked in the mirror and smiled.

"This is exactly how I imagined my wedding dress."

That's the difference expert bridal alterations and custom dress modifications can make transforming a beautiful dress into your dress.
