Prom dress alterations are all about timing and fit: taking in the bodice, shortening straps, hemming to your heel height, and sometimes adding a slit or securing a low back. Because prom season packs every shop in Houston into a few short weeks, the smart move is to get your dress altered as soon as you buy it.

Good to Know
As soon as you have the dress. From March through May, Houston seamstresses are slammed with prom and wedding work at the same time, and rush jobs cost more. Booking early gets you a better price and a calmer fitting.
Hemming to your shoe height, taking in the bust and waist for a snug fit, shortening or adjusting straps, and adding a bra cup or strap to hold everything in place. The 5 Houston shops below handle all of these.
Sometimes, but expect a rush fee and limited availability. A simple hem or quick take-in may be possible, while anything involving the bodice or a corset back needs more time. Call ahead to one of the Houston listings below to check.
