Leaf and Lace recommendation

  • On request, we can provide you with an individual cost estimate before any alterations begin. This gives you full transparency and you can be sure that your dress will fit perfectly - with no surprises when it comes to the bill.
  • Our average estimate is 5 hours. However, this can vary greatly depending on the dress and is only an average. Special requests require more time. Please bear in mind that everything is done by hand.
  • We recommend that you only bring one accompanying person to your fitting appointment with the seamstress. This saves time and the costs are lower.
  • We charge for alterations on a time basis. The hour costs CHF 89 incl. VAT. Staking out and collection is charged according to the time required.
