Good to know
Questions about this service.
How far before my wedding should I book?
Contact the atelier as early as possible, ideally several months before the wedding. Availability depends on the gown, the work required, your date and the current fitting schedule.
What should I bring to the fitting?
Bring your gown, the shoes and undergarments you plan to wear, relevant accessories and your confirmed wedding date. These details affect support, proportion and hem length.
Can you work with lace, beading or corsetry?
Yes. Juliia works with complex bridal construction and decorative handwork. The gown must be assessed in person to confirm the appropriate method and scope.
How much will my alterations cost?
Pricing is confirmed after the first consultation or fitting because construction, fabric, layers and the amount of work vary significantly between gowns.
