Why Wedding Dress Alterations Are Essential

Even if you’ve found the gown of your dreams, it’s rare for a dress to fit flawlessly straight off the rack. Bridal gowns are often made in standard sizes, meaning adjustments are needed to achieve that made-for-you look.

Our skilled bridal seamstresses in London can carry out all types of wedding dress tailoring, including:

  • Taking in or letting out the bodice for a perfect fit around the bust and waist.

  • Hemming the skirt to suit your height and chosen shoes.

  • Adding a bustle so you can dance and move comfortably during your reception.

  • Reshaping straps or sleeves for better proportion and support.

  • Zip, button, or corset adjustments for secure and comfortable wear.

  • Restyling or customising details such as lace appliquΓ©, beadwork, or neckline changes.

Every Fabric, Every Style

We work with all bridal gown fabrics – from delicate chiffon to heavy satin, romantic tulle to intricate lace. Our alterations are carried out with precision so your dress retains its original beauty while fitting you perfectly.

We regularly alter:

  • A-line wedding dresses

  • Ballgown styles

  • Mermaid and fit-and-flare gowns

  • Sheath dresses

  • Short and tea-length bridal dresses

  • Bridal jumpsuits
