Frequently Asked Questions

I recommend booking your alterations as soon as you order your dress. Your first fitting should ideally take place at least 10 weeks before your wedding - but this can also be done sooner if you are not intending to change shape or size drastically. This ensures we have enough time for consultations, fittings, and any bespoke modifications, while keeping the process relaxed and unhurried. I do offer a ‘quick turnaround service’ for brides on a shorter timeframe subject to availability. Please contact me for my availability.

Most brides have 2–3 fittings, depending on the complexity of the alterations. Every appointment is designed to be unhurried, allowing us to perfect the fit and make adjustments as needed. Your final fitting ensures the dress fits flawlessly and feels exactly right.

Every wedding dress is unique, so alterations are priced individually based on the work required and the time involved.

A clear quotation will be provided following your consultation, once your dress has been assessed and your ideas discussed. Please note that a minimum spend of £300 applies to wedding dress alterations.
