Frequently Asked Questions

From a button to a bridal gown, we can help you with it all!

Wether it's a minor alteration such as replacing a button or an entire restyle of a dress nothing is too much trouble.

We also offer a couture bespoke service where we can design and create your very own garments! 

We also offer a hat and fascinator service where we can create you a unique and bespoke head wear to match any outfit! 

As soon as possible. The best time is as soon as you have said yes to the dress! This means you will secure your slot for closer to your wedding date. This may sound crazy however the summer months fill up super fast especially weekend appointments. So as soon as you have said yes and booked your wedding date get in touch! 

I require a minimum of 6 months to be able to fulfill a couture outfit order. For wedding gowns I need a minimum of 12 months. This is to allow for designing, samples as well as the construction and fitting times. 

Please do get in touch with any enquiries as these timings all depend on pre-scheduled work however we may be able to help on a shorter time scale! 

All alterations are unique to each dress and each bride. Due to the nature of the work I do not operate from a fixed price list. However before I start work on any garment I will pop you a message or email with the price and ask for a 50% deposit. I am happy to hold a consultation appointment before your first fit or give an estimate quote from photos however this may change once I've seen and assessed you in your gown. 

SHOES!!! I cannot stress this one enough! You need the exact shoes you will be wearing on the day! Without these I cannot pin your hem length. If you do not have your shoes and wish to schedule for a second fitting to pin the hem you will be charged an extra fitting fee (£25). 

Most bridal gowns do not require you to wear a bra however if you wish to wear one you will also need that and any shape wear you intend to wear.

If you have anything you want to add or attach to your gown bring these to your first fitting along with petticoats or hoops you will be wearing to. 

Other than that it's just you and your dress we will need.

Absolutely not! If you would prefer to have your fittings in your own home or a family members I will happily come to you. When you make your booking just let me know and we will arrange what works best for you!
