Q&A

1. What services does Lully Arias Atelier provide?

With over 30 years of experience, we specialize in bridal alterations, couture tailoring, and standard alterations. Our services include:

  • Wedding dress alterations (hems, bustles, resizing, customizations)

  • Couture alterations (corset reconstruction, lace appliqué, boning reinforcement, redesigns)

  • Standard alterations (hems, sleeves, zippers, taking in/out seams)

  • Evening gowns & cocktail dress alterations

  • Veil and accessory customization (veils, capes, overskirts, boleros)

  • Custom design and restyling of formalwear

2. Do you only work on wedding dresses?

No. While bridal alterations are our specialty, we also handle evening gowns, cocktail dresses, and formal wear. From simple hems to couture restyling, we bring decades of expertise to every garment.

3. What is the difference between standard and couture alterations?

Standard alterations include services like hemming, taking in or letting out seams, and strap adjustments.

Couture alterations involve advanced techniques such as corset restructuring, lace appliqué repositioning, boning reinforcement, or redesigning gown silhouettes.

4. How far in advance should I book my bridal alterations?

We recommend booking your first fitting at least 3–4 months before your wedding to allow time for multiple fittings and custom adjustments. Rush services are available for shorter timelines.

5. How many fittings will I need?

Most brides need 2–3 fittings depending on the complexity of the alterations. Couture gowns or heavily customized dresses may require additional visits.

6. Do you alter veils and accessories?

Yes. With our extensive experience, we provide alterations and customization for veils, capes, overskirts, boleros, and other bridal accessories to perfectly complement your gown.

7. How long does a standard alteration take?

For non-bridal garments, most standard alterations are completed within one week. Timelines vary depending on the type of work and season.

8. Do you accept last-minute bridal alterations?

Yes, subject to availability. Rush alterations are possible, but we recommend contacting us as early as possible to secure your spot.

9. What are your prices for alterations?

Pricing depends on the garment and the level of work required. Standard alterations start at basic rates, while couture alterations are priced individually after consultation. We provide expert advice and detailed estimates at your first appointment.

10. How can I book an appointment?

You can book directly by contacting Lully Arias Atelier through phone, WhatsApp, or our social media. Appointments are required for bridal consultations.
