✨ Top tips for your bridal alterations ✨
Saying yes to the dress is just the beginning, alterations can completely transform your dress.
As we are now into wedding season, we have lots of brides coming in for their first fittings. Here are my top tips to make sure everything goes smoothly:
Ensure to leave enough time!
We usually recommend leaving 8–10 weeks before your big day for alterations. This gives enough time for fittings, adjustments, and making sure everything fits like a dream, without any last-minute stress. More complex alterations can mean longer.
Ensure to bring the essentials.
What you wear underneath (and on your feet!) makes a huge difference. Be sure to bring:
• Your wedding shoes
• Your underwear that you are hoping to wear on the day
• Any shapewear you plan to wear
This helps us tailor your dress to your exact silhouette.
Don’t forget your accessories!
If you already know what accessories you’ll be wearing, like belts, veils, or jewellery, bring them along! They can affect the overall look and fit, so it’s best to see everything together.
Your dream dress deserves a flawless fit!
