Bridal Alterations Stouffville
Wedding Dress Alterations
At Tanis Emmett Wedding Style, we create an unforgettable bridal alterations experience for our brides. Your one-on-one bridal alteration service begins with a personal assessment at our Stouffville studio, and ends with the perfect fit on your big day!
We strive to make all our consultations and appointments a stress-free and enjoyable experience! When you book your bridal alterations appointment with us, we don’t just pin your wedding dress – we’ll work with you to ensure the fit and style of your garment are customized to you! We’re happy to explain our process, show you multiple bustle options and help you choose or customize accessories to complete your bridal look!
Our Alterations Process
First Fitting
On your first fitting, we will pin your dress to assess what needs to be altered. You will need to bring the undergarments and shoes you plan to wear on your special day. If you require cups, we offer cups that can be sewn into your dress in place of a bra, for an extra fee. As far as our payment schedule works, we require a 50% non-refundable deposit at this time and the final balance will be settled at your second fitting. Depending on your dress style, at your first fitting, we can discuss if you would like to move forward with a hoop rental. Hoop rentals require a $65 refundable deposit upon return of the hoop.
Second Fitting
On your second fitting, we recommend bringing someone who can help you get ready on your special day. It’s important to bring someone who our team can train to care for your dress at your wedding. We will teach this person how to bustle the dress, lace-up the corset (if applicable) and also reveal some helpful tips to solve possible dress emergencies. At this fitting, the tailor will book your final visit to pick up your perfectly fit dress!
Third Fitting
Your third fitting is offered to ensure there are no additional tweaks or changes needed for your gown.
Pick up & Try on
On your final visit, you will pick up your altered and steam-cleaned dress and any additional pieces you may have ordered.
*For our destination wedding brides, or brides who may be travelling for the big day, we will show you how to package your gown for travel to ensure a wrinkle-free garment.

The ladies here are so lovely to work with. Although I live downtown Toronto, I drove nearly an hour just to get my dress altered here because they came so highly recommended. My dress turned out perfectly and the service here was just exceptional. All in all an amazing experience […]! My dress was perfect! Thank you for making my vision turn into a reality.
