Questions about evening wear
Not covered here? Call us — you get an answer in a minute rather than through a form.
076 501 73 31How early should I come?
Two weeks ahead for an evening dress; at least four to six weeks for a wedding dress. That leaves room for a second fitting.
How many fittings will I need?
For a length change, usually one. For corsetry or several alterations, two to three.
Can you clean the dress as well?
Yes, before or after as appropriate. For a wedding dress we recommend cleaning straight after the wedding.
What does it cost?
Shortening from CHF 35, taking in with lining from CHF 45. Corsetry and trains quoted on sight; we name the fixed price at the fitting.
