Bridal Dress Alterations

Whether your wedding dress is plain or has intricate lace, beads or any other type of embellishment we have the high-level expertise to not only alter your dress to perfection but to restyle it in ways you thought were not possible. For example, changing the neckline, adding sleeves, reshaping the train, adding lace and embellishment. We will work with you closely to listen and understand your needs. Our vision is to ensure that when you walk down the aisle in your wedding dress you will feel the most confident you have ever felt in your life. You will gain this confidence by knowing that you look incredible from every angle. Whether you have purchased your wedding gown from a department store, a bridal boutique, inherited it or have decided to wear a vintage dress and need it restyled, re-sized or remodelled, we can help.

The Experience

At Alterations Boutique we have worked hard on putting together the best possible team to work on your dress, developing a high standard of customer service we believe all brides deserve, and we have been successful at creating a wonderful experience from the moment a bride walks into our boutique.

 

First Appointment

We would suggest that you bring the wedding dress to us at your earliest convenience, remembering to bring your shoes and undergarments. We will perform an initial consultation, pin the garment and advise you of costs. If you are happy with the costs and go ahead we will keep your dress and schedule a date with you for your first fitting. This saves you from having to transport your dress and eliminates any risk of damaging it.

 

Fittings

Prior to your wedding, you will visit us on the pre-agreed fitting dates. The number of fittings required will depend on the complexity of the work we are undertaking. Only once you are completely satisfied may you collect your perfectly altered dress and take it with you. 

 

Costs

We believe in charging our customers fair and reasonable prices, therefore, we undertake regular research to ensure our rates are moderate. We appreciate that you would like to know in advance how much the costs are going to be but as Wedding Dresses can vary with regards to fabric, finishing, construction and detail we prefer that customers visit us so we can provide a free, accurate and no obligation quote. At your appointment, we will provide you with a breakdown of costs so you have a clear understanding of what you are being charged for and do our best to make sure we quote within your budget. Our Fair and Reasonable Price policy means that our customers receive the best possible service and outstanding quality workmanship, without having to pay premium prices.

All fittings including the consultation are free. We only charge for the work we perform and you only pay for the work we agree to do once. For example, if we take in the dress and it still does not fit correctly when you try the dress on, we do not charge again.

After the wedding


Christening Gown

There are many different ways of creating a christening gown but it has increasingly become fashionable to create a baby’s christening gown by incorporating parts of your wedding dress. Your wedding dress is sentimental to you and therefore it is the perfect choice to use it to create another special outfit for another special family day. For example, if your wedding dress has a train, we can use it to design a beautiful christening gown for your baby. This does not mean the end of your wedding dress as we can use it to create a matching tea length dress you can wear at the christening ceremony. Otherwise, we can work with you to design a christening gown using all the fabric and trims from your wedding dress. Whether you will decide to create a mini replica of your own wedding dress or would like us to come up with a completely new design, or have already designed it yourself, let our dressmakers work with you to create a unique and special outfit for you and your baby. 


Creating a versatile wardrobe piece

Your wedding day doesn’t have to mean the end of your wedding dress. Let our talented dressmakers turn your wedding dress into something new, better, modern and exciting. At Alterations Boutique we have the expertise to convert your wedding dress into a special outfit you can wear regularly. Let one of our dressmakers create a beautiful cocktail gown, an elegant blouse or remake the bottom part of your dress into a stunning skirt. Whatever piece you choose, it will remind you of the memories from your wedding day. Our talented dressmakers will work with you to create a unique piece that will always have a special and personal meaning.

  

Reassurance

Alterations Boutique is a VAT registered, Limited Company with a comprehensive insurance policy that covers your garment whilst it is in our possession. Unfortunately, there are individuals that have set up rogue businesses that do not pay tax, take cash only and do not have the correct insurance in place which means you and your garment have no protection. We are proud to be a British company that complies with all rules and regulations to provide peace of mind to our clients.

 

The Team

All of our team are qualified seamstresses by trade, with at least 20 years of experience. Despite being already qualified, the team have to undergo a rigorous Alterations Boutique training programme to demonstrate they perform work to our high standards. In addition, there is ongoing regular training to help the team master their skills.

Her champagne-and-pewter hued vintage dress was a unique creation. "It was discovered by my friend Charlie Brear of the Vintage Wedding Dress Company. Everybody but everybody commented on it,” she told us. “It was originally a flapper dress with an amazing kind of cape or train, and that part was made into my wedding dress by the lovely Maria Blazquez with lots of input from my friends, Reena and myself. Then I wore the flapper dress for the evening party." Hello! Magazine
