Your wedding dress should feel like your dress—not simply a beautiful design you chose from a collection.
At InWeddingDress, we know that sometimes you can fall in love with almost every detail of a gown, yet still find yourself thinking, “I wish the neckline were a little different,” or “This would be perfect if it had sleeves.” That’s exactly why we offer our Signature Custom Alterations Service.
We have options to customize your dress to be just as unique and special as you are. Instead of designing a wedding dress completely from scratch, our Custom Alterations Service allows you to start with an existing InWeddingDress style you love and personalize its design details to better suit your figure, your wedding, and your personal style.
What Can You Customize?
The possibilities go far beyond simple adjustments.
Perhaps you love a gown but feel its sweetheart neckline isn’t quite right for you. We can change it to a V-neckline for a more elongated, figure-flattering look. Maybe everything about the dress is perfect, but you would feel more comfortable with a little extra coverage. Adding short sleeves, long sleeves, cap sleeves, or other coverage details may be possible.
Want something less traditional? You can also request a custom wedding dress in a different color to create a look that feels completely your own.
Our service is designed to embrace your ideas—even the more imaginative ones.
Some brides, for example, fall in love with the bodice of Dress A but the skirt of Dress B. Yes, we can work with requests like this too! When combining elements from different gowns, our designers will carefully consider how the two designs work together. Details such as the waistline and the transition between the bodice and skirt are especially important to creating a finished dress that looks intentional and beautifully balanced, rather than simply pieced together.
Whether your idea involves one subtle change or several design modifications, the goal is the same: to take a dress you already love and make it feel unmistakably yours.
How to Order the Custom Alterations Service
Ordering your customized wedding dress is simple.
Step 1: Choose your wedding dress.
Browse InWeddingDress and find the original gown or formal dress you would like us to customize. Select your size, color, and other standard options as usual, then add the dress to your shopping cart.
Step 2: Select the Custom Alterations Service.
Go to our Signature Custom Alterations Service and choose the alteration option that matches your request. If you would like several details changed—for example, changing the neckline and adding sleeves—you can select multiple alteration services as needed.
Step 3: Tell us exactly what you want.
Use the Description field to explain your customization requirements in as much detail as possible. Tell us what you would like changed and what you want the finished design to look like. If your request involves combining elements from different InWeddingDress styles, clearly identify the styles and the specific details you would like to borrow from each one.
Don’t worry about finding the perfect technical fashion terminology. Every customization request is reviewed by a real person. Our team will carefully review your description so that your ideas can be correctly understood and translated into the design of your one-of-a-kind dress.
Once you have completed the Description, add the Custom Alterations Service to your cart as well.
Step 4: Check out together.
Before completing your order, make sure your shopping cart contains both the wedding dress you want to purchase and the corresponding Custom Alterations Service option(s). Then simply check out and pay for everything together.
Your Favorite Dress—Made More “You”
Finding a wedding dress doesn’t always mean finding a design where you wouldn’t change a single thing. Sometimes, the perfect dress begins with a gown you already love—and one or two thoughtful changes that make all the difference.
A different neckline. A little more coverage. Sleeves you’ve always imagined. An unexpected color. Or even your favorite bodice and skirt from two different dresses brought together into one harmonious design.
With InWeddingDress Signature Custom Alterations Service, your imagination doesn’t have to stop at the original design.
Start with the dress you love. Tell us how you’d make it yours. And let us help turn that vision into a wedding dress created especially for you.
