Bridal Alterations

Couture-Level Alterations & Refinement

For brides who already have their gown but want it to feel truly their own, I offer a limited number of couture-level alterations each season.

With a background in design, pattern cutting, and garment construction, I approach each piece with the same care and precision as a bespoke commission — reshaping, refining, and perfecting the fit so the gown moves beautifully with your body.

Whether your dress requires subtle adjustment or more considered transformation, the focus is always on balance, proportion, and detail.

Investment

Each gown is individually assessed and quoted based on fabric, construction, and level of detail.

Most brides invest between £300 – £600

• Hem adjustments — from £120

• Bodice reshaping (take in / let out) — from £120

Up to three fittings are included within your alteration cost.

Consultation

A 30-minute consultation is available for advice and quotation.

Timeframe

Alterations are typically carried out 6–8 weeks prior to your wedding date, allowing for the most accurate fit as your body naturally changes in the lead-up to your day.

What to Bring to Your Fitting

• Wedding shoes

• Undergarments

• Petticoat or underskirt (if required)

A Note on Suitability

I specialise in working with well-constructed gowns and may not be able to take on dresses requiring full reconstruction.

Gowns purchased significantly below the required size may require extensive work and will be quoted accordingly.
