Questions
Everything you might be wondering.
The earlier the better — bridal alterations are typically booked 3–6 months ahead. Get in touch as soon as you have the dress and we'll find a slot.
No problem at all. We alter dresses from anywhere — online retailers, vintage finds, family heirlooms. Bring it in and we'll talk through what's possible.
It depends on the dress — usually two or three. The first sets the brief, the next confirm the fit. We take the time it takes.
Beautifully. We redesign wedding dresses into evening gowns, christening gowns, or something else entirely. Ask about the redesign service.
Yes — evenings and weekends by arrangement. Call 01303 255 678 or message 07904 698 960 and we'll work it out.
