Prom dress alterations, ready before the dance.
Prom dresses are bought online, bought early, bought on sale, and almost never bought in the right size. Most need a hem, a take-in through the bodice, and straps that actually stay where they belong.
We fit prom and homecoming dresses for students across the Sacramento region — from Sacramento and Elk Grove up through Citrus Heights, Roseville, Folsom, and Granite Bay.
Turnaround is fast, which matters because prom dresses are famous for arriving late. If the dance is next weekend, call us — we've handled tighter.
Bring the shoes you're wearing. A dress hemmed for flats and worn in heels is the single most common preventable problem we see.

Fast turnaround
Prom season runs tight and dresses arrive late. We keep room for quick work in March through May.
Straps that stay put
Shortened, restyled, or converted, plus cups and lining added so nothing needs adjusting all night.
Online buys welcome
Dresses ordered online arrive with unpredictable sizing. Bring it unaltered and we'll assess it honestly.

Book before the rush
Prom season across Sacramento-area schools clusters into a few weekends, which means everyone needs the same three weeks. The dresses that get the most attention are the ones that arrive first.
If you already have the dress, bring it in now rather than waiting until the fit is a problem. If it hasn't arrived yet, call and we'll pencil the time in against your dance date.
Common questions
Prom Dress Alterations — questions we're asked
- How quickly can you alter a prom dress?
- Usually within a few days, and faster when the dance is close. Prom season is our busiest stretch for quick work, so call as early as you can — but if the dance is this weekend, call anyway.
- Can you alter a prom dress bought online?
- Yes. Online dresses arrive with unpredictable sizing and are the majority of what we see. Bring it unaltered and we'll tell you honestly what's workable before quoting.
- What should I bring to the fitting?
- The shoes you'll wear to the dance, and any undergarments that change the fit. A dress hemmed for flats and worn in heels is the most common avoidable problem we see.
