COVID-19 WORKING POLICY
We have thought very carefully about how to keep us all safe during these unprecedented times, we have decided that the following policy will apply for the foreseeable....
1. We would request that brides allow at least 10 - 12 weeks for alterations to their dresses, to allow time for any disruption due to possible self isolation issues.
2. Dresses will be completed 2 weeks before your wedding date. Working up to the week of wedding is not be ideal due to possible self isolation issues.
3. Only 2 people maximum to attend the fitting. Unfortunately, we must ask NOT to bring children with you at this time.
4. In order to keep close contact to a maximum of 15 minutes during the fitting. We ask that the 2 people attending the fitting are the bride or person who is wearing the dress and another person to help in and out of the dress.
5. Consultation will take place at a social distance once in the garment, actual pinning of the dress should then only take a maximum of 15 minutes. This should prevent any self isolation issues if any of us become ill.
6. We have hand washing facilities available prior to entering the fitting room, or there is sanitiser at our cleaning station on entry to the room We would ask that face masks/coverings are worn during the fitting when close contact is unavoidable. These will be provided if not brought along. At all other times we can keep at a safe distance. There will be an opportunity for brides to look in the mirror without a mask on.
7. We will sanitise all touch points in between fittings, door handles, chairs, pens, pay pad etc
8. Please bring your dress in a zip up dress bag, these are readily available on ebay or amazon if you don't have one. Dresses will be stored in these bags for 72 hours after fitting and before being worked on, then returned to the bag after.
9. As usual, brides will be asked to take petticoats, veils and any other loose accessories back home with them, and just leave the dress with us.
I will try and make the dress fitting experience as pleasant and as normal as possible as it's uppermost in my mind it should be an exciting time for brides :) Maria
