Please don't leave your alterations to the last minute. Instead, book your bridal fitting 3-2 months before your wedding date as we otherwise might need to charge you express fees. https://t.co/Jeqdmfx6EV

💍 However long or short you want to wear your wedding dress, it is your decision. However, the dress length does depend on the style, your shoes and what you feel comfortable wearing on your day.
📌 Our team suggests wearing gowns and long wedding dresses, so they just graze the floor. It allows you to walk confidently to the altar.

QC = Quality Control 📏🪡
We are proud of our high-quality alteration services. ❤️
Every wedding dress we alter eventually has to persevere a rigorous QC process to ensure that the measurements we have taken in the fitting before are applied correctly to your bridal gown.

How to get your wedding dress ready for it🪡
One option is adding a bustle that holds up your train to enjoy dancing through the night. Depending on the type of dress, we use different types of bustles. Not all heavy dresses can be bustled up. The fabric would not hold the weight.
📌Ask us in your fitting if your dress can have a bustle, or email us following the link in bio 👆🏼

ALTERATION CHARGES 💷
Every bride wants to know the cost of her bridal alteration. But, unfortunately, it is impossible to give you an idea before we see your dress to understand the alterations needed to fit it perfectly.
Charges depend on the dress style you choose, the construction, the detailing, how many layers of your dress need shortening, the finish and overall, how well the dress fits you.
To get some idea, please send us some photographs, and we try to provide a guide. Our charges are based on time at an hourly rate of £72.
