A reservation fee is due to be paid when you reserve time in my sewing schedule for your dress alterations and this sum will be deducted from your final bill e.g. reservation £60, final bill £300, balance due £240.
Estimated Prices
In many cases, brides see their dream dress, but then find that it doesn't quite fit their body shape. To make sure that you walk down the aisle in comfort, I offer a range of alterations. An indication of the likely cost of the most requested alterations are shown below.
Each bride requires two appointments and there is a charge of £60 to cover approximately two hours appointment time.
The cost will ultimately depend on the style and construction of the dress, and the time involved. For example, a petite bride will need more fabric removed from the length than others, a full ballgown design has more fabric than a slim column or fishtail dress. Detailing such as lace/beading/stiffening ribbon is more time consuming to work with.

Complete the design of your dress by making a few small additions.
