Did you know that 68% of brides report feeling stressed about their dress fit in the final months before their wedding?

We're here to change that statistic - starting with YOU.

At Nocce Bridal Alterations, we've seen it all - from last-minute panics to tears of joy.

But nothing compares to the smile on a bride's face when she slips into a perfectly altered gown. Our Bridal Alterations Expert Ileana Poessy is the best at this.

Actually, It's pure magic. ✨

Here's what Sarah, a recent Nocce bride from Waterloo, had to say:
"I was terrified my dress wouldn't fit after losing weight. Nocce didn't just alter my dress - they transformed my entire wedding experience. I felt like a goddess walking down the aisle!"

This is why Axel Cooley and Ileana Poessy established Nocce in 2000. And since then, it has been a great honor to help so many brides look their best.

Why settle for a dress that 'almost' fits when you can have one that feels like a second skin?

Don't let dress stress ruin your big day.
