When it comes to your wedding dress, it’s the little details that make the biggest difference. Sleeves that slide off your shoulders or straps that dig in can affect your comfort — and your confidence — on your big day. Fortunately, you don’t have to settle. At Wedding Dress Alterations London, we offer expert sleeve and strap adjustments to ensure your gown fits perfectly, feels secure, and reflects your personal bridal style.
Why Sleeve & Strap Adjustments Matter
Most wedding gowns come in standard sizes, which rarely align perfectly with every bride’s frame. Sleeves and straps are two of the most common areas that need tailoring to ensure the gown sits comfortably and elegantly on your body.
Our experienced bridal seamstresses can:
- Shorten or tighten straps that are too loose
- Lengthen or reposition straps for better support
- Add custom sleeves in lace, chiffon, tulle, or satin
- Reshape existing sleeves to suit your style
- Transform a sleeveless gown with cap sleeves, long sleeves, or off-the-shoulder designs
- Improve overall gown structure for comfort and mobility
These alterations not only improve the gown’s fit but can also dramatically enhance the design — from timeless and traditional to sleek and modern.
Bridal Tailoring for All Gown Types
Whether your dress is brand new, vintage, designer, or off-the-rack, we handle every gown with precision and care. Our London-based tailors are highly skilled in working with delicate fabrics such as lace, silk, crepe, satin, beading, and more.
We understand the unique construction of bridal gowns and will advise you on the best sleeve or strap solution to match your body shape and style goals.

When to Book Your Appointment
We recommend booking your alteration consultation around 6–8 weeks before your wedding day. This gives us time to assess your gown and make all the necessary adjustments across one or more fittings. If you're working to a tighter deadline, we also offer express alteration services subject to availability.
