At Theron’s Fashion and Bridal Boutique, we believe every customer deserves a dress that feels like magic. Your heart is overflowing with joy.
To know if your wedding or formal dress needs alterations, pay attention to these key areas:
Fit & Comfort
Bust & Bodice: The top should fit snugly without gaping or digging in. If it shifts when you move, it needs adjustments.
Waist & Hips: Your dress should hug your body comfortably—too tight will be restrictive, too loose may not be flattering.
Straps & Sleeves: Straps shouldn’t slide off or dig into your shoulders. Sleeves should allow free movement.
Length & Hemline
Dress Length: The front should graze the floor without tripping you, and the back should flow naturally.
Heel Check: Try your dress with your shoes to ensure the perfect length.
Bustle & Train Adjustments for the Brides
If your dress has a long train, you may need a bustle (hooks or buttons to lift the train for easier movement).
Personal Style & Customization
Want to add lace sleeves, beading, or a deeper neckline? Alterations can personalize your gown or formal dress to reflect your unique style.
Overall Feel
Walk, sit, and dance in your dress.
Yes, there is a difference between a designer, tailor, and seamstress, and choosing the right one for your wedding or formal dress alterations is very important!
Understanding the Difference
Bridal and Fashion Designer – Specializes in designing and creating custom wedding gowns and formal dresses from scratch. They can also do major redesigns on an existing dress.
Tailor – Focuses on adjusting the fit of a dress, such as taking in the waist, adjusting the length, or refining the silhouette.
Seamstress – Skilled in sewing and minor alterations, such as hemming, adding bustles, or fixing small details.
How to Choose the Best Person for Your Alterations
For our Brides, look out for a designer with Bridal Experience. Wedding dresses are different from regular clothing—lace, beading, and delicate fabrics require a professional with experience in bridal alterations.

“Kelsey did alterations to my wedding dress. It was a heavily beaded dress, so I was concerned about finding the right person to do the alterations. Kelsey did an excellent job, her workmanship is excellent! Thea was also very professional with regard to communication and invoices.
I can highly recommend Kelsey for alterations and designs”. Bride: Anika Pienaar
“I ordered my wedding dress online from a different store. When I got it, it wasn’t exactly how I expected it should look. I was so happy to find Theron’s Fashion & Bridal Boutique as they were willing to help me alter it into my dream dress. They are so helpful with valuable advice and prompt services. I am now super excited to finally say I have my dream dress, thanks to them”. Bride: Armunay Gillmer
