I recommend alteration work is started 8-6 weeks before your wedding day to allow for any weight change.

Most good seamstresses will get very busy, especially in the summer months so pre-booking your sewing slot in advance is essential.

Please enquire in good time to avoid disappointment.

Due to many no-show in the past, a booking-in deposit of £50 secures a sewing slot for you in my schedule. This is deductible from your final bill.

You are welcome to bring the dress in for an early assessment and firm quote, before booking-in, or to simply book and I will see the dress for the first time at the fitting appointment.

I have altered hundreds dresses in 15 years, so unless your alterations are very out of the ordinary an early assessment would be for your peace of mind rather than my benefit. 

My breadth of experience at cost estimation means I very rarely have to charge more than my original quote.

A typical alteration bill is £250-£400 I can give a cost estimate for the changes to your dress at a pre-fitting alteration consultation or at your first official fitting as best suits you.

All prices are a guide only, costs are as individual as each brides’ requirement.
