Bride having her wedding dress fitted by a seamstress in a London boutique

Your wedding dress is one of the most important garments you’ll ever wear — and it deserves to fit perfectly. At AB Wedding Dress Alterations, we specialise in bridal tailoring that enhances your figure, complements your style, and gives you complete confidence on your big day.

From small tweaks to complete restyling, our London bridal seamstresses are experts in the art of wedding dress alterations.

What We Alter – Our Wedding Dress Services

Every bride and every dress is unique, which is why our alterations are tailored to your individual needs. Our services include:

Taking In or Letting Out

Whether you’ve lost or gained weight, or just want a more fitted silhouette, we can shape the bodice and seams to hug your figure perfectly.

Shortening the Hem

We ensure your gown is the right length for your height, shoes, and venue — from dramatic cathedral trains to elegant tea-length dresses.

Adding or Removing Straps and Sleeves

Transform your dress from strapless to sleeved, or add delicate straps for extra support.

Bustle Creation

Make walking and dancing easier by adding a bustle that suits your dress style — from American to French or custom-designed.

Reshaping Necklines or Backs

Want a sweetheart neckline instead of straight across? Prefer a deeper V-back? We can make it happen while preserving the gown’s design integrity.

Lining, Zips, Buttons & Embellishments

From replacing worn zips to adding custom buttons, we cover every detail.


Bridal Alterations for All Dress Styles

We work with:

  • A-line, ball gown, mermaid, sheath, and fit-and-flare dresses

  • Designer labels and high street gowns
