Your dress fits poorly or gets stained


What to Do If ...


Your dress fits poorly or gets stained
If your gown feels like a sausage casing after the final fitting, don’t panic—and definitely don’t force the zipper. Instead, take the dress to a professional tailor like Ellen Canali of Ellen’s Couture (445 Columbus Ave., nr. 81st.; 212-496-8800); she keeps an extra staffer on hand for emergencies and can take any garment in or out. For rips or tears, consider a spot like Dynasty Custom Tailors(6 E. 38th St., nr. Fifth Ave.; 212-679-1075), which specializes in repairs. If a mysterious grease stain makes a sudden cameo, try dabbing the spot with baby powder; otherwise, rush it to a reputable gown cleaner like Madame Paulette (1255 Second Ave., nr. 66th St.; 347-689-7010), which can flip a job in 24 hours or less. Worst-worst case (e.g., the dress spontaneously combusts), you can always grab an off-the-rack number from the likes ofBCBG Max Azria (770 Madison Ave., at 66th St.; 212-717-4225) or neighboring boutiqueJ. Crew Bridal (769 Madison Ave., at 66th St.; 212-824-2500; by appointment only).
