Our Wedding Dress Alterations Process
Book Your Dress Alterations Early to Avoid Disappointment
I always recommend booking as early as possible to avoid disappointment. Ideally, alteration work should be booked eight to ten weeks before the wedding date, with a collection of dresses two to three weeks before the wedding.
The alteration process can be completed in two fittings. However, if complex alterations are required, it is recommended to add an interim fitting.

Wedding Dress Size Reduction
Dresses can be taken down by two sizes. If the garment is altered to be more than two sizes lower, then an interim fitting might be required. Occasionally, the dress must be recut and remade for a perfectly tailored fit.
If The Dress is Too Small, Don't Worry
If the dress is too small, don't panic. There are ways to make the dress bigger. For example, we can add a corset back with a modesty panel and matching lacing. Or panels can be discreetly added using the dress fabric with some planning and seamstress wizardry.
Any physical changes need to be notified as soon as possible, for example, weight gain, weight loss, pregnancy, medical procedures or medication. Note measurements are taken at the first fitting stage for reference.
Bustle loops and wrist carriers are added.
