Your wedding dress is one of the most important garments you’ll ever wear — and it deserves to fit you perfectly. No matter how beautiful a gown may be, it won’t truly shine unless it complements your shape, your style, and your confidence. That’s where bridal alterations come in.
At AB Wedding Dress Alterations, we specialise in the art of perfecting wedding gowns. With decades of experience, our skilled seamstresses are trusted by brides across London and beyond to deliver expert alterations with the highest level of care and craftsmanship.
Why Bridal Alterations Are Essential
Even the most stunning designer gown may need adjustments. Dresses are usually made in standard sizes — not made-to-measure — and every bride has a unique body shape and preference. Bridal alterations ensure your gown fits like it was made just for you.
Common wedding dress alterations include:
Taking in or letting out at the bust, waist or hips
Shortening or hemming the skirt
Adjusting or adding straps or sleeves
Reshaping the neckline or back
Adding a bustle to lift the train for the reception
Resizing vintage or pre-loved gowns
These adjustments allow your dress to move with you comfortably, flatter your body, and make you feel at ease throughout your big day.
Our Expertise at AB Wedding Dress Alterations
We work with all types of wedding dresses, from luxurious designer gowns to vintage heirlooms, custom-made creations, and off-the-rack purchases. Our bridal tailoring team handles delicate fabrics, intricate lace, beading, and complex silhouettes with precision.
