What Nayna can do
Formal dresses take patience and a careful eye. Here is what Nayna helps with most. Not on the list? Just ask.
- 01
Wedding dresses
Fit adjustments so your gown feels right from the first photo to the last dance.
- 02
Bridesmaid dresses
Help the whole bridal party look put together, even when every dress fits a little differently off the rack.
- 03
Prom dresses
Get the length and fit right before prom night at Denison, Sherman or any Grayson County school.
- 04
Formal hems
The hem is set for the shoes you will actually wear, so you are not tripping or dragging fabric.
- 05
Taking in
When the dress is a little too big through the waist, bodice or sides.
- 06
Letting out
When the dress is a little too snug, as long as the seams have fabric to work with.
Not on the list? Ask anyway. If Nayna cannot do it, she will say so.

Local know-how
Planning a North Texas outdoor wedding
A lot of weddings around Denison and Sherman happen outdoors. Barns, backyards, vineyards and the shores of Lake Texoma are all popular. That changes how a dress should fit.
North Texas summers run long and hot. The National Weather Service Fort Worth office tracks the region's normal temperatures, and highs stay in the 90s for much of the summer. Heat makes a dress feel tighter as the day goes on, so a fit that is snug in an air conditioned fitting can feel too tight by the reception.
The ground matters too. Grass, gravel and sand catch a long hem. A hem that is perfect on a wood floor can drag outdoors, so it helps to tell Nayna where you will be walking.
Fabric plays a part as well. Heavy satin and layered skirts hold heat, while chiffon and lighter fabrics breathe more easily. If your wedding is in July or August, ask Nayna how your dress fabric will feel on the day, and plan your final fitting close enough to the date that the fit is still right.
That is why Nayna asks about your venue, your shoes and the time of day. She pins the dress with those details in mind, so it is comfortable where you will actually wear it.

Questions
Bridal, Bridesmaid and Prom questions
Still wondering about something? Ask when you send your ticket, or call (903) 815-6603.
How early should I bring in my wedding dress?
The earlier the better. Formal dresses usually need a fitting or two, so reach out as soon as you have the dress and your date. [Confirm lead time with Nayna]
Can you alter dresses for my whole bridal party?
Yes. Nayna has altered bridesmaid dresses before. Send her how many dresses you have and your wedding date, and she will let you know what she can fit in.
I am getting married outdoors near Lake Texoma. Does that change anything?
It can. Tell Nayna about the venue and the ground you will walk on. Grass and sand catch long hems, so she may suggest a slightly different length.
When should I bring in a prom dress?
Prom season is busy in the spring for Denison, Sherman and other Grayson County schools. Reach out early so there is time for a fitting before the big night.
What should I bring to my fitting?
Bring the dress plus the shoes and undergarments you will wear on the day. That way the fit and length are right the first time.
How do I get started?
