Fittings and Consultations are FREE, however when booking a fitting or consultation online, there is a $25 fee required to hold your appointment time. This fee is then applied to the total bill for the services rendered and is only refundable upon a client's decision to not move forward with Mildred to the next step in the process after the fitting/consultation. If the client is a no-show/no-call with less than 48 hours notice, the fee is forfeited.

Please be sure that any and all garments that will be fitted are CLEAN and PERFUME FREE. Mildred will not take items or garments that are soiled and/or smell strongly of smoke, perfumes, deodorants, detergents, fabric softeners or other scented products. If the garment or item is machine washable, a quick, warm, cycle through the washer with a light detergent (Mrs, Meyers, Seventh Generation, etc.) or vinegar should do, and if they are not machine washable please have them dry cleaned.
DO NOT FORGET the SHOES you will be wearing with your garment. Mildred will not pin hems with you standing on your tippy toes (-;
Please bring the proper and appropriate undergarments for your fitting. Mildred highly recommends a GOOD and STURDY shaper for EVERY BODY; tall or short, old or young, slim or curvy, what your wear "under there" is the FOUNDATION of your garment.
Pricing for alterations includes the cost of the INITIAL FITTING, as well as a FINAL FITTING.
BRIDAL GOWN alterations will normally add $300 to $600 to the cost of the dress, so before you say "YES" to that dress, make sure you have included at least that much in your budget!
Any additional fittings, for example in the case that you would change your mind about your wants or needs once work has begun, would be subject to an additional fee.
Additional fitting fees start at $25 per.
Standard alterations should not require more than one fitting.
A non-refundable deposit of 50% (of the total amount of the job proposal) is due before work will be commenced. The balance is due upon receipt of completed project and a ready to wear garment.
