Description

DESCRIPTION

Achieve the perfect fit for your bridesmaid dress with our professional side alterations. If your bridesmaid dress feels too loose around the sides, we will take in the sides of the dress to ensure a sleek, well-fitted look.

This alteration is ideal for dresses that need adjustment in the bust or waist area for a more tailored shape.

RECOMMENDATION RESIZING DRESS SIDES

We recommend taking in the sides no more than 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 3.8 cm) to maintain the integrity of the dress’s design and structure. Larger alterations can require more substantial reconstruction, which may affect the overall fit, comfort, and aesthetic of the dress. Our goal is to provide a tailored fit that enhances the dress without compromising its silhouette.

For best results, we focus on making adjustments that keep the dress proportional, especially around the waist and hips. Altering the sides beyond this recommended range can sometimes cause issues with the seams, lining, or embellishments, particularly in delicate fabrics.

If you’re unsure about the alterations needed, feel free to contact us for personalised advice.

FABRIC AND PRICE VARIATION

We handle all fabric types with care – from smooth satin to intricate beading and lace. Pricing varies based on fabric type: plain fabrics are priced at a standard rate, while beaded or embellished fabrics require additional care and are priced accordingly.

Simply send your dress via our easy-to-use postal service, and our expert seamstresses will ensure a custom fit that will have your bridesmaids looking and feeling their best on the big day.
