Prices
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 £50, final bill £250, balance due £200.
The reservation fee can be transferred to another set of dates if Government COVID-19 regulations prevent my business from operating or if weddings are not permitted.
I will consider transferring the fee to new dates if your plans change for other reasons but this cannot be guaranteed and will be subject to time available in my sewing diary.
Estimated Prices
Each bride requires two appointments and there is a charge of £45 to cover
approximately two hours fitting time.
In many cases, brides see their dream dress, but then find that it doesn't quite fit their body shape. In order 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.
The cost will ultimately depend on the style and construction of the dress, and the time involved, but my suggested costs are as follows:
