Bridal Alterations

The Sussex Bridal Seamstress studio

Call me or drop me an email to make an appointment for your First Fitting. Pease visit the Contact page for details of how to get in touch.

First Fitting

On the day you are allowed to bring 1 x extra guest with you or you can come along solo. Space is tight and we will need as much room for you to move around the studio in your gown.
Your allocated fitting time will be one hour.
I would recommend booking in time for your first fitting around six weeks before your wedding day, with collection around one week before.
Ensure you are wearing the underwear you plan to wear on the day and the shoes so I can accurately pin the hem length.
There is a curtained off changing area and I will make a note of your measurements for my records. This will include Bust, waist and hips.
Once you're in your dress I will give advice on what needs to be done to ensure the fit is the best it can be. I'll also provide an estimate as to how much the work will cost you.
Should you wish to proceed with the alterations I suggest, I will provide a written list of costs by email after the first fitting.
You will leave your dress with me while I work on stitching the necessary changes and we will book your second fitting.

Second Fitting

We will assess changes made to your dress, and this is part way through the process, so some seams will remain unfinished so I can check that all fits are 100% correct.
Hems will be partially finished but not cut to allow for any amends
We will then make an appointment for your third and final fitting.

Third Fitting

This is the final try on of your dress and usually the day you get to take home your beautifully tailored wedding gown.
Your final fitting will be 30 mins.
Your dress will be steamed and ready for you to take home.
