Frequently Ask Questions
General Questions
How can I book an appointment?
The easiest way to book an appointment is through our website. You’ll be able to view our availability and book accordingly. Click here to make an appointment to try on our ready-to-wear bridal dresses
Do you accept walk-ins, or is an appointment required?
It is best to book an appointment in order to secure a fitting room and receive an one-on-one consultation with our bridal consultant. You’re welcome to walk-in but there may be a wait if we already have bookings.
How many months in advance should I book my first appointment?
We advise you to do this between 9 and 12 months before your wedding. However, if your wedding date is sooner, feel free to make an appointment now. You still have time to find the perfect wedding dress for your big day!
How can I find out the price and/or availability of a product?
If gowns are displayed on our website then they are generally in-store but on a special occasion when a bride has purchased the sample, we may not have that particular dress in-store unless reordered. If you’re after a particular dress that is on our website, we suggest you call and check with us first. Prices can be obtained via a call or email.
What designers do you stock?
We offer three exclusive designers in New Zealand; Rosa Clara, Luna Novias & Adriana Alier. From time-to-time Alter Me will also have their sample gowns on sale.

This variety allows brides to find a dress that highlights their best features and fits them perfectly.
Do you offer plus-size wedding dresses?

Alterations and Customizations

We carry out the basic bridal alterations from taking in and hemming but we also specialise in extensive wedding dress alterations, which includes remodeling, remaking top half or bottom half of a wedding dress, etc. You can view details on our bridal dress alterations here
How long do alterations take?
In the non-peak season alterations can take between 1-4 weeks. If you visit us in the peak bridal season, wedding dress alterations can take up to 6-8 weeks or more, depending if you require fittings. We recommend either emailing or seeing our bridal consultants in-store to show us your dress so we can recommend the timeframe it would take for the alterations.
How much do alterations typically cost?
Bridal dress alterations generally cost between $300-$900. Extensive alterations can cost slightly more. If it’s a simple take in and hemming it can cost under $300

Yes, you can! We have made many custom pieces to excite the bridal gown—for example, custom sleeve variations, bows, additional applique flowers, beading, etc.

Yes, we do! After you get your dress dry-cleaned with us, we can store your dream wedding dress in a keepsake bridal box so your dress can be preserved for many years without discolouration and staining.
