Step-by-Step Wedding Dress Alteration Process in Toronto

Our bridal alteration journey is designed to be seamless, supportive, and centered entirely around you.

1. Book Your First Appointment (Toronto Bridal Alteration Studio)

To begin your alteration journey, simply book an appointment through our website. Once you’ve secured a time, you’ll visit our private bridal studio at:

📍 117 MacKay Ave, Toronto, ON M6H 2N7📞 (416) 880-4760

At your first visit, bring your wedding dress, the shoes you'll wear, and any undergarments or shapewear you plan to use.

2. The Initial Consultation: Vision Meets Expertise

You’ll meet with Behnaz Morovati, the founder and expert seamstress behind YASS Dress. She’ll:

Review your dress and its current fit
Listen to your preferences and comfort needs
Make professional suggestions based on your body shape and dress style
Pin and mark necessary changes

Every dress is unique — some need a simple hem, others require bust adjustments, sleeve reshaping, or even neckline redesigns.

You’ll be able to move, walk, and sit in your gown to ensure it’s not only beautiful — but also functional.
