Your wedding day is one of the most important moments of your life—and your dress should reflect that. But even the most stunning gown may not fit perfectly straight from the boutique. That’s where we come in.
At Wedding Dress Alterations London, we offer specialist bridal tailoring to ensure your gown is styled, shaped, and sculpted to perfection. From designer pieces to vintage finds and online buys, our expert team in London transforms every wedding dress into a one-of-a-kind fit made just for you.
Why Every Bride Needs Wedding Dress Alterations
Even when you’ve found your dream dress, achieving the right fit is key. Alterations are not about changing your dress—they’re about perfecting it. We understand that every bride is unique, and tailoring your gown to your body shape, height, and preferences ensures it flatters from every angle.
Whether you’ve purchased your dress from a London bridal boutique, a designer showroom, or even second-hand, our tailors work with all fabrics and styles including lace, silk, satin, tulle and heavily beaded gowns.
What We Can Alter
At Wedding Dress Alterations London, we offer a full range of bridal tailoring services to meet every need. Here are just a few of the most popular:
Resizing
From slimming down the bodice to letting out the hips or bust, we ensure a seamless fit that feels just right.
Hem Adjustments
We shorten, lengthen or shape hems to complement your height and shoes—so you can walk down the aisle in elegance.
Sleeve & Strap Adjustments
Add or remove sleeves, alter straps for comfort, or reshape cap sleeves for a more flattering line.
Neckline Reshaping
We can open up or raise the neckline to match your taste and body shape—whether you want more modesty or a modern update.
Bustle Creation
Keep your train intact for the ceremony and easily secure it for the reception with a custom bustle that suits the gown’s design.
Corset, Zip & Button Work
We repair or replace fastenings, rework corsetry and ensure every detail is secure and functional for your big day.
When to Book Your Fitting in London
To avoid last-minute stress, we recommend booking your first fitting 2–3 months before your wedding date. This gives enough time for multiple fittings and fine-tuning. However, if you’re on a tight timeline, we also offer express alterations, including same-day or next-day bridal fittings depending on availability.
What to Bring to Your Bridal Appointment
To ensure the best fit, we recommend you bring:
- Your wedding shoes (or a similar heel height)
- The undergarments or shapewear you plan to wear
- Any accessories that may affect the fit (veils, jackets, belts)
This allows us to tailor the dress exactly as it will be worn on the day.
