Too Loose?
Dress hanging loose? We'll take it in at the waist, bust, or hips for a flattering fit. Maintain your curves while achieving comfort and style.
Too Tight?
Dress feeling snug? If there's seam allowance, we can let it out for more room. Otherwise, we'll recommend services like side panels.
