Understanding how these intricate gowns are made is extremely valuable when carrying out these alterations as it means she knows exactly how they should come apart and go back together again without a trace that they have ever been altered. Emma is able to advise on how a dress should look and fit properly as well as make recommendations about accessories. Along with fitting alterations you may require some design alterations or add ons such as the addition of straps, beading, decorative buttons or crystal embellishments all of which can be provided.

Prices

Prices are available upon request, however I always advise brides to budget around £350 for wedding dress alterations, it can be more but it can also be less.

Prices vary depending on dress style, fabric, detail, complexity and whether you require add on's such as straps, bows, belts etc. 

So please get in touch to discuss your dress alterations and how I can assist you.
