Five years dedicated specifically to bridal gowns

My background is in professional dressmaking, but for the past five years I have specialised specifically in bridal alterations.

Bridal gowns are unlike ordinary garments. Their structure, layers, boning, lace, embroidery and delicate finishes require a different level of understanding and patience.

Over the years, I have worked with hundreds of gowns — from modern minimalist silhouettes to heavily embellished, vintage and technically complex designs.

Some alterations happen one stitch at a time

Our work includes lace, beading, sequins, embroidery, multiple layers and delicate fabrics.

On some gowns, decorative elements must first be carefully removed so the underlying structure can be altered. They are then restored and re-applied by hand so the finished work feels completely original to the dress.

The best alteration is the one you cannot see.

This kind of work can take many hours and requires precision at every stage.

Every gown is constructed differently

Understanding what lies beneath the surface is an important part of bridal alterations. We consider the gown’s construction, fabric, structure and detailing before deciding how each alteration should be approached.

Every gown asks for a different approach

Vintage pieces, structured gowns and delicate details all require a careful, considered hand.

No two gowns are treated the same

Every alteration begins with the gown itself — its fabric, construction, detailing, condition and the result you want to achieve.

We assess each piece individually and plan the work around the dress rather than applying a standard solution.
