Wedding boutiques are beautiful places filled with white tulle, lace, satin, and hopefully, the dress of your dreams.

After you’ve found that perfect gown, you'll quickly be reminded once you try it on that it wasn’t custom-made to your measurements! Unless you happen to fit the designer's sizes perfectly, you probably need some adjustments. 

If you bought your gown at a specialty wedding shop, many have a seamstress on staff, so alterations can be simple. But what if you have special requests the boutique can't take on or didn’t get your dress at a local boutique, you ordered online or chose vintage? Since a wedding dress is usually an expensive endeavor, some shoppers opt to search online or second-hand.

The solution? Seek out your local tailor, seamstress, or alterations shop, like Merci's Tailoring in Cedar Rapids. Their name may say "tailoring," but they work on everything for couples and family members, whether your day is formal or casual, and for all styles and fits. We love their attention to detail. They start by taking precise measurements to ensure a great fit, then consult with you to determine the look you're trying to attain, and will return your garments to you in the exact condition you requested. 

You should always ask your local professional, be it a tailor, seamstress, or alterations specialist if they work on wedding gowns or wedding suits. Some may specialize in one but not the other, or neither. However, they could also specialize in both!

So wherever you find the gown or suit of your dreams, Merci's Tailoring is the place to get the perfect fit!
