Provide images of garment/s, brief description of alterations required and date of wedding.

I will respond to your e-mail within 24 hours with an estimate of alteration costs and fitting date availability.

If you agree with the estimate, a fitting date will be agreed.

I recommend that you bring your wedding dress in a garment bag. Please remember to  bring your bridal shoes and underwear/shape wear you intend to wear on the big day. During your first appointment, we will discuss your bridal vision and I will pin your wedding gown. I will give you a breakdown of costs at the end, and if you are happy to proceed we will schedule a date for your next fitting.

To begin the alteration process, full payment is required at the conclusion of your first fitting appointment, after the pricing breakdown has been provided. This ensures efficient processing and allows us to continue delivering exceptional service for you.

​

We offer various payment methods, including bank transfer, card payment (with a minor 2% processing fee), or cash, for your convenience.

​

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain the quality of our service and the stability of our business operations.

Your wedding dress will be ready for collection for a pre agreed date in it's garment bag. Upon request your dress will be steamed and stuffed with acid free tissue paper.

• Create a Christening Gown

Your bridal dress is sentimental to you and therefore it is the perfect choice to use it to create another special outfit for another special family day. For example, if your bridal gown has a train, we can use it to design a beautiful christening gown for your baby with a matching tea length dress you can wear at the christening ceremony.
