Your wedding day is one of the most important and memorable days of your life. Every detail matters — the venue, the vows, the flowers — but perhaps none more so than the dress. Finding your dream gown is a magical experience, but even the most stunning wedding dresses often require expert alterations to achieve that flawless, personalised fit.
That’s where bridal alterations come in. They don’t just adjust your dress — they transform it to reflect your shape, your comfort, and your style.
Why Wedding Dress Alterations Are Essential
No two brides are the same, and neither are their bodies. Off-the-rack wedding dresses are designed to fit general sizes, not your unique figure. Even custom-made gowns often require last-minute tweaks. Bridal alterations ensure your dress:
Fits like a glove
Feels comfortable for the entire day
Moves with you effortlessly
Accentuates your best features
Common Wedding Dress Alterations
✂️ Taking In or Letting Out
Adjusting the bodice, waist or hips ensures a flattering, secure fit.
👗 Hem Shortening
Your dress should skim the floor without tripping you up — especially if you’ll be dancing the night away!
👚 Strap and Sleeve Adjustments
Customise the neckline, tighten straps, or alter sleeves for both style and support.
🧵 Bustle Creation
Add a bustle to lift your train for the reception — functional and elegant.
💎 Detail Enhancements
Add or remove embellishments like lace, beads, or appliqué to personalise your gown.
When Should You Start Bridal Alterations?
Ideally, begin your alterations 8–12 weeks before your wedding. This allows time for multiple fittings and any final adjustments. If you’re short on time, don’t worry — some bridal specialists also offer express services.
