Alterations
Alterations
Alteration costs are not included in the price of any item.
These can be carried out by our in house self employed seamstress at an additional cost.
As none of our dresses are made to measure and are based on a standard size, we order the closest size to you to ensue minimal alterations for you.
What do I need to take to my fitting?
You will need to take the shoes you will be wearing with your dress to ensure that we fit the dress to the perfect length.
You will also need to wear any specific underwear you will be wearing so that the dress can be fitted perfectly for you.
How many fittings will I need?
It is usual to have two fittings.
Your first fitting will be approximately 6-8 weeks before your wedding.
During this appointment your dress will be pinned to fit.
At your second appointment your dress will be retried to ensure a perfect fit and make sure you are happy with the changes.
Do I have to have my alterations done by your recommended seamstress?
You are more than welcome to use your own seamstress and are under no obligation to use our recommended alteration service and are more than welcome to source your own.
