Make the fitting specific to your occasion
Tell the studio whether you expect to sit for dinner, dance or spend long periods standing. Show where the dress pulls, slips or feels restrictive. These details help the fitting focus on comfort as well as appearance.
A practical first assessment
Share the dress style, fabric, event date and any previous alterations. A lined cocktail dress and a heavily embellished formal gown can require different techniques; a photo review starts the conversation and an in-person fitting sets the final plan.
