Services
Every alteration, done right.
Su Misura offers the full range of bridal alterations — from a single hem to a complete structural rework. Each service is performed by Fernando personally, with the precision and care your gown deserves.
Wedding Gown Fitting
The foundation of every alteration. Fernando conducts a thorough consultation to understand your vision, assess the gown's construction, and map a precise plan for achieving the perfect fit. Typically two to three fittings are scheduled over the course of the process.
- Initial consultation & assessment
- Structural analysis of gown construction
- Two to three fitting appointments
- Final press & steam finish
Bustle & Train Work
A properly bustled train moves with you through the reception — not against you. Fernando creates custom bustle configurations tailored to your gown's specific train length, weight, and fabric, ensuring it holds securely and releases cleanly.
- American, French & ballroom bustle styles
- Custom hook and loop placement
- Train length adjustments
- Cathedral & chapel train alterations
Hemming & Length
Whether you're wearing heels, flats, or haven't decided yet, the hem of your gown must be exact. Fernando accounts for shoe height, posture, and movement — so the length looks intentional from every angle.
- Floor-length & sweep hemming
- Lace, beaded & layered hem preservation
- Underskirt & lining adjustments
- Hem matched to final shoe height
Taking In & Letting Out
Bodies change between the time a gown is purchased and the wedding day. Fernando handles both taking in and letting out with care for the original seam lines and construction — preserving the integrity of the design while achieving the fit you need.
- Bodice & waist adjustments
- Corset back additions
- Side seam & back seam work
- Lace & beading preservation during resizing
Bridal Party Alterations
Coordinating alterations for bridesmaids, mothers of the bride and groom, and flower girls. Su Misura accommodates group bookings and works to ensure every member of the party is fitted with the same attention to detail as the bride.
- Bridesmaid dress fitting & hemming
- Mother of the bride & groom alterations
- Flower girl dress adjustments
- Group scheduling available
Post-Wedding Preservation
After the day, your gown deserves the same care it received before it. Su Misura offers cleaning referrals and minor post-wedding repairs — loose beading, small tears, and bustle damage — so your gown can be preserved exactly as you remember it.
- Post-wedding inspection & repair
- Loose bead & embellishment reattachment
- Small tear & seam repair
- Cleaning referral to trusted specialists
