Let’s Get started!

Email info@ettetailor.com with some days and times you are available as well as your wedding date to set up your initial appointment! We would love for you to share the designer of your dress, any specific alterations or concerns you have, and a photo or link to your dress so we can get to know you and your gorgeous gown before your first fitting with us.

We recommend you reach out at least four to five months before your wedding date, and scheduling your initial appointment about 3 months before your wedding or when you will be leaving town for the wedding.

 All initial appointments require a $50 deposit with booking, which will be credited to your overall cost if you choose to proceed with alterations with us at that time.

We are happy to accommodate earlier consultations for an additional fee of $50.

Our fitting hours are 11-7 Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and 10-6 on Saturdays. Appointments are 45 minutes to an hour long, and we are located at 1509 W Fullerton Ave, Chicago, IL 60614.

Make sure to have shoes of the same sole and heel height that you plan to wear for the wedding at your first fitting, as well as any particular shapewear you are planning to wear, as this can change the fit of the gown. 

More than 50% of our pricing falls within the $600-$1500 range, depending on the style of gown and scope of work. We will give you a final estimate at your first fitting once we see you and the gown in person. 

Because alterations are a personal choice and require concentration from both the fitters and the bride, we ask that brides refrain from bringing a guest to the first two fittings. You may bring a guest to the third/pickup fitting, so choose someone special who can learn how to do your bustle and cheer you on! Want to share with your crew? We are masters of Facetime and Zoom and will be happy to help so that you can have your whole squad virtually join the party during your fitting.

We are unable to accommodate children and animals for safety reasons.

Please check out our FAQ for more information.

We so look forward to working with you!
