When a dress fits perfectly, it flatters your figure, boosts your confidence, and enhances your personal style. Whether it’s a high-street piece or a designer gown, the difference between “off the rack” and “made for you” is in the alterations. At Alterations Boutique London, we offer expert dress alterations and adjustments from our central London studio, helping you achieve a flawless fit—whatever the occasion.
With decades of tailoring experience and a reputation for premium service, we’re trusted by clients across London for their most treasured garments, from everyday dresses to bridal gowns, evening wear, and more.
Why Professional Dress Alterations Matter
No two bodies are the same, and clothing rarely fits perfectly straight off the hanger. That’s where expert tailoring comes in. Whether you need to take a dress in, let it out, shorten the hem or adjust the straps, professional alterations ensure your dress fits and flatters exactly as it should.

-
Taking in or letting out seams

-
Re-shaping bodices or bust areas
