I specialise in bridal wear and alterations and love helping brides achieve the perfect fit for their big day. I take much pride and care with your dress.
Anything from hemming to customising your dress - changing the neckline, adding sleeves…

Booking

Please get in touch as soon as you can - I take bookings up to a year in advance. I try my best to book brides in 3-4 weeks out from your wedding day so we can achieve the best fit. Please use the form below to enquire about a booking

Initial consultation:

Depending on what you want done to your dress, this time may vary. It is best to get in touch as earlier as possible.
This is a 30 - 60 minute consultation where we discuss what you want to achieve as well as a measure up and fitting to allow me to achieve the perfect fit.

The second fitting / collection:

I book you in for your second fitting at the time of initial consultation. This is usually another try on of your dress to make sure you are happy with the fit.
Ocasionally, depending on the work required, a third fitting may be needed. I will let you know this when you first get in touch

cost

I have an hourly rate charge - this means I can charge you for the exact amount of time I spend on altering your dress.
For lace / intricate beaded dresses there is usually more time involved
A quote / estimation will be provided at the initial fitting. This is always the maximum amount of time I will spend, if any variance I will charge you accordingly.

What do I bring?
Please bring with you:

  • the correct shoes - this is very important to make sure we achieve the correct length for you

  • the same or similar bra / underwear - this is important for fit and surprisingly makes a huge difference!

What if I lose or put on weight before the big day?I get you in as close as possible to the day to avoid this, very rarely I encounter brides who do change size in this short space of time. We also have a second fitting for this reason and I allow enough time to make further changes if required.
