What to know before you book
Heavy bridal fabrics are specialist work: hemming a lehenga with embroidered borders, taking in a beaded bodice, or resizing a sherwani are jobs for tailors who handle occasionwear weekly, not the local dry cleaner’s alteration counter. Outfits ordered from Pakistan or India almost always need adjustment on arrival — sizes are approximate and couriers don’t do fittings — so build alteration time into any international order.
Fittings have rules that save heartbreak: bring the exact shoes you’ll wear (hems are set to them), the underlayers and any padding you’ll use, and do the final fitting close enough to the wedding to reflect your real measurements but with enough margin for one more adjustment. Ask the tailor honestly what’s achievable — letting out has limits that taking in doesn’t.
Frequently asked questions
How long do bridal alterations take?
Simple hems and sleeve adjustments can be quick; structural work on beaded or heavily embroidered pieces takes much longer and may need multiple fittings. Book the tailor as soon as the outfit is in hand, and never leave alterations to the wedding month if you can help it.
Can outfits ordered from abroad be altered here?
Yes — it’s one of the most common jobs for tailors serving South Asian weddings. Expect adjustment on arrival as the norm, not a defect. What can’t always be fixed is a garment cut too small, so order generous and take in rather than praying it fits.
What should we bring to a fitting?
The exact shoes, the underlayers you’ll wear on the day, and the dupatta or accessories that affect fit and length. Photographs of how you want the outfit to sit help; so does honesty about comfort — you have to move, sit and eat in it for hours.
