Alteration costs can vary depending on the style of your dress and the complexity of the work required. For example, shortening a simple two-layer dress will cost less than altering a full gown with multiple layers and intricate lace detailing.

As a general guide, you can expect to budget between £350 – £650 for your alterations.

WatsApp me images of you dress and include oyur name and wedding date for a personalised quotation.

For dress redesigns or more significant size adjustments, please get in touch with your wedding date and photos of your dress so I can advise you.

Most brides will need two fittings.
• First fitting: Around 2–3 months before the wedding
• Final/collection fitting: Around 2–3 weeks before the wedding
If your dress requires significant alterations, an additional fitting may be necessary. I’ll let you know if that’s the case after your first appointment.

You’re welcome to bring guests with you to your fittings. Please note that my studio is small, so only 2–3 people will fit comfortably.
I kindly ask that, where possible, small children are not brought along, as my workspace and fitting area share the same space and it is not a child-safe environment

 For your fitting, please bring:

• The shoes you plan to wear on the day

• The bra you’ll be wearing (if applicable)

If a bra isn’t an option but you’d like some support, I have a selection of  bra cup options here. If you have a larger bust size, please contact me in advance so I can ensure I have the correct cup size available for your fitting.

Your first alteration appointment will be approximately 3 months before your wedding.
You will need to have your dress and shoes ready, and if you’re on a weight loss journey, you’ll need to be at your goal weight for this first fitting.

Around 95% of bridal gowns will need alterations, so I do get booked up quite far in advance.

Please contact me to make your booking as soon as you have found your dress.
