Turning disaster into triumph

An example of a dress bought on the internet, which was too big in the bodice, waist and hips.

The blue trim had to be removed and the boned seams reduced and reshaped before replacing the trim.

The lining and interlining had to be reshaped to match.

Mandy's wedding dress after it was altered

 

On your Wedding Day you want to look and feel fabulous, in a dress that looks as if it was made specially for you, even if it wasn't. You want to feel confident that you can dance all night without your dress slipping or chafing or tripping you up.

Whether it's brand new or vintage, a sample, an internet purchase or a family heirloom, if your wedding dress doesn't fit don't worry - we can fix it. Whether it's too big, too small, too long, too short or needs completely remodelling, whatever the problem we'll find a solution. Give us a call, tell us what you need and we'll arrange to have a look and give you a no obligation quote.

A wedding dress is no ordinary dress and requires specialist handling. Usually it has to be taken apart, with care to preserve the delicate fabric and trim, and recut to your measurements. Often an alteration needs a designer's eye to solve a problem, such as enlarging a bodice which is too tight where there is no spare seam allowance to let out.

Small details can customise a dress and make it truly your own unique gown for your special day.

Your bridesmaids dresses might need a little tweaking here and there to make them fit properly. You want them to enjoy the day feeling at their best.

If you have children as bridesmaids or pages, make sure they are comfortable - often children become fractious if their clothes are uncomfortable.

The men, too, needn't suffer in waistcoats or trousers that are too tight or too long.
