Dress Additions
Complete the design of your dress by making a few small additions.
BUST CUPS. I am able to add Bra Cups for £20 depending on requirements.
TRAIN BUSTLE RIBBONS. These shorten the train for dancing will be charged at between £20 and £30. Please note that a full or layered train will require additional hand sewing and an additional charge.
UNDERSKIRTS. I have a reputable brand of hooped and netting underskirts used widely in the Bridal Industry. Various styles are available at different costs depending on style. Available in slimline/Fishtail, "A" line and "shapewear" style for body-hugging dresses.
Bridesmaids Alterations
Much depends on the exact design but generally bridesmaid dresses are less structured than a Wedding Gown but often there is still considerable work required e.g. pinning and shortening the hem with underlayers or lining, shortening straps/shoulders, altering the bodice. For example, 4 X hem allow £140-180. I book a 1.5-hour appointment to fit 4 Bridesmaids so that everyone can visit together.
Paying Your Bill
A deposit is required when you book your fitting schedule.
Please note that all bills must be paid IN FULL before completed dresses are collected.
