Your wedding dress should fit as perfectly as the moment itself. Professional bridal alterations, bustle creation, bodice fitting, and hem adjustments — handled with the care your gown deserves at Foothills Tailor.
Trusted by Fort Collins clients for alterations and embroidery.
Precise adjustments to the bodice for perfect support and shape. We work with boning, cups, corset backs, and structured fabrics to get the fit exactly right.
Whether you need a simple hem or a complex multi-layer train adjustment, we ensure the perfect length for your venue — indoors, outdoors, or both.
A properly constructed bustle keeps your train secure for dancing and reception. We create French, American, and ballroom bustles to match your gown’s style.
Body changes between purchase and the big day are normal. We resize at the waist, hips, and bust while preserving your gown’s original design and beadwork.
Add straps for security, remove sleeves for a modern look, or reshape the neckline. We customize your gown to match your personal style.
Coordinate your bridal party with consistent, well-fitted bridesmaid dresses. We handle groups of any size with the same attention to detail.
