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
Vintage wedding dresses
Beaded, lace, satin, tulle, and chiffon fabrics
Whether you bought your dress online, from a boutique, or inherited it, we’ll tailor it to feel made for you.
