bridal alterations 〰️〰️

Alterations to your wedding dress are probably the most important alterations you’ll ever have and I provide a calm, bespoke, specialist service to make sure your dress fits absolutely perfectly before your wedding day.

Please book in your wedding dress alterations as soon as you have (or have ordered) your dress. When you get in touch we’ll book in your first three fittings. They’ll take place at my home studio, a calm, creative space in a little converted barn on my driveway, in Castel (near to the Farmhouse Hotel).

Fitting one: 8-10 weeks ahead of the wedding. We’ll look at your dress together, discuss the alterations needed and pin them in place. (Don’t forget your shoes!!)

Fitting two: around 3 weeks after your first fitting. We’ll check how the alterations are sitting following the first fitting and pin the next stage. (You may be all done and ready at this stage, in which case you can take the dress away with you!)

Fitting three: This is usually a final check and collection fitting to see that all the work done is fitting perfectly and you’re 100% happy and ready for your big day!!

If you have a dress that you’d like major design changes to we will likely need slightly longer so let me know and I can work out the best time scale for us to work to.

Bridal alterations are charged at £50 / hour.

I will book you in for three fittings when you first get in touch, these usually take around 45 minutes-1 hour and are also charged at my hourly rate.

As a guide, bridal alterations generally cost between £300-£600 (inclusive of fitting time) but I can provide a more accurate estimate at your first fitting.
