Frequently Asked Questions

We suggest a good time is somewhere between 12-18months before your wedding date as it takes up to 6 months for the dress to arrive once ordered. This gives you plenty of time to make the right decision & allows for alterations to be done once your dress arrives.

As soon as your dress arrives in the store we ask you to book your try-on appointment. This appointment is to ensure the dress has arrived perfectly from the designer. You will then be asked to take your dress home & bring it back for alterations closer to your wedding if you are having them done with us.

We do have 2 in-house seamstresses. Our alteration package is £399, this includes every alteration to make your dress fit you perfectly including bust cups & a bustle to hook your train up in the evening if you require them.

Yes, bespoke alterations are chargeable on top of the alteration package & would be quoted depending on what you want. If you would like something made to match your dress we would suggest ordering extra fabric from the designer at the same time as you order your dress. This way we can be certain the fabric will match exactly. It can also take the same length of time for the fabric to arrive as it does for a dress to arrive.

Standard alterations are usually done within 3 appointments, however, this does depend on how much work needs to be done. Sometimes it can be done in 2 appointments but sometimes 4 or 5 especially if there is bespoke work to be done on top of the usual alterations.
