Every wedding dress is constructed differently, with varying fabrics, layers, structure and detailing. Because of this, it is not possible to give accurate quotes without seeing you in your dress.

The prices listed on this page are intended as a general guide only.

Your alterations will always be discussed and priced clearly during your first fitting, once I can assess how the dress sits on you and what is required to achieve the best possible fit.

More intricate tailoring will need to be priced accordingly at your fitting. This includes altering and reshaping bodices, bust lines, and any substantial changes to gowns.

Specialist bridal alterations for wedding dresses across Sussex, including Brighton, Horsham, Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill and surrounding areas.

Payment


A booking deposit is taken at your first fitting to secure your alterations work in my diary.

Once your alterations are complete, an invoice for the remaining balance will be sent to you a few days before your collection appointment.

Full payment must be received before your dress is collected.

I accept card and cash payments.
