Dressmakers: bridesmaid and group fittings

Five bridesmaids, five schedules, one wedding date. Coordinating fittings by group chat means dozens of messages and someone always missing. With Book, each bridesmaid books her own place in a group fitting on your own booking page, and you book individual follow-up fittings from your list, working back from the wedding.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Durations and places are examples. Put prices per dress in the description if they vary.

Each online booking takes one place. Give the group fitting as many places as there are bridesmaids, and share the booking link with the bride. Each person books with her own name, email and phone, so each gets her own calendar file. When all places are taken, the slot leaves your page.

Create a group fitting service per wedding, such as "Fitting, Martin wedding, 14 June", so other clients don't book into it. The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email: ask for her dress size and any changes since the last fitting.

After the group fitting, book individual fittings yourself from your bookings list for anyone who needs more adjustments. First and last name are enough; with their email, each person gets a confirmation with a calendar file. Work back from the wedding date and leave a margin.

Say in the description to bring the shoes and underwear worn on the day.

Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the booking from your list. Book doesn't email clients about changes, so message the person yourself. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars.

Book doesn't take deposits or payments, store measurements or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field. See the guide on sewing lessons for beginners. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
