Wedding dress alterations can be very difficult due to the detail, material and way they are made and requires highly skilled seamstresses. Our Bridal seamstresses are just that, experienced, talented and creative and will have you looking picture perfect on your wedding day.

Our Work

All eyes are going to be on you so you want to feel your most gorgeous- self and be comfortable from that first walk up the aisle, all the way through to the last dance.

We understand this and our bridal work reflects this.

There are 5 things our brides tell us they want for their wedding dress.

Flattering – A shape that suits your figure
Well Fitted – So you don’t have to worry about wardrobe malfunctions
Comfortable – You shouldn’t be thinking about it while you’re wearing it (apart from thinking how dreamy it is)
You – It has to reflect your style and personality
Empowering – So you can strut your stuff down the aisle.

Bridal Alterations

These are the essential alterations which make the dress look like it has been made especially for you. This could be shortening the hem so it’s not a tripping hazard or adjusting the bodice, so it follows your body.

Wedding Dress Restyling

These are the alterations which make a garment unique by adding a sprinkle of your own style.  This could be adding embellishment or sleeves, lowering the back or adding volume to the skirt. 

Vintage Gown Alterations

These are the alterations and repairs which get your vintage piece ready to wear down the aisle!  This could be repairing damaged lace, adjusting the fit or redesigning the neckline to update the look.
