Simple Adjustments | ~$200 – $400

Quick and easy work to improve comfort or minor fit issues:

• Raising or shortening straps

• Shortening the length of light or simple gowns

• Adding a simple bustle

This option is ideal if you only need very basic changes and want a quick, budget-friendly solution.

Standard Adjustments | ~$400 – $800

Foundational alterations to ensure your gown fits beautifully without major structural changes. Examples include:

• Hemming gowns with low to medium-volume skirts (1–3 layers)

• Adding a bustle with multiple attachment points

• Refining the fit by taking in or letting out side seams

This tier is perfect for brides needing essential adjustments to feel comfortable and confident.

Advanced Alterations | ~$800 – $1,200

For gowns that require more detailed work to achieve the perfect silhouette. This may include:

• Hemming gowns with 3+ layers or intricate hems

• Reshaping the bust and other areas for a more tailored fit

• Dresses with full beading or lace covering areas that need adjustment

• Gowns that are two or more sizes too small or too large

• Adding extra boning to support the bust

These alterations require additional expertise to maintain the gown’s integrity while achieving a customized fit.

Custom & Transformational Work | $1,200 – $2,000+

For brides looking to make significant changes or enhancements, including:

• Adding custom sleeves or lining an unlined bodice

• Adjusting necklines or bodice lengths

• Adding or replacing skirt layers for volume and movement

• Reworking, redesigning, or reinventing a gown’s structure

• Restoration or detailed work on vintage gowns

Pricing depends on the complexity of the design, materials, and craftsmanship required.

Your wedding day is incredibly special, and alterations are an investment in feeling your best.
I’m happy to explore different options with you—whether it’s a budget-conscious adjustment or a fully customized solution for a flawless fit.
If you’re working within a tight budget, please let me know in advance. I can prioritize faster fittings and focus on essential adjustments while still ensuring your dress looks beautiful.

For the best results, try to maintain your weight after the final fitting. If you experience significant weight changes, please reach out to me immediately. I will do my best to accommodate any major adjustments needed.

I can occasionally offer express services for an additional fee. For availability, please contact me directly via text or phone. To avoid any last-minute stress, I recommend starting the alteration process as early as possible.

In rare cases, more complex alterations might require additional time. If that happens, we may need to schedule a follow-up session. To help avoid extra charges, it’s a good idea to come prepared with clear ideas and the undergarments you plan to wear, such as stick-on bras.

Please note that working with vintage dresses can take longer due to their delicate condition, and may also cost more. I’d be happy to discuss the details and provide guidance on what to expect.

I do not provide services where I make wedding dresses from scratch. Only alterations and changing the details of the original dress.

My standard turnaround time for basic garments is 2 weeks. For more complex items requiring additional fittings, it may take longer. If you need your garment sooner, I offer an express service for an additional 30% fee. This service may not be available for all garments, so please check with me in advance.

I take the time to carefully and thoroughly work on each job, ensuring the highest quality. While I do offer express services, these still require a minimum of two days to complete. As a solo artisan, I personally handle every aspect of the work and client interactions, allowing me to remember each client’s preferences and provide a truly personalised experience. Thank you for your understanding.

I accept payments via EFTPOS, credit card (Visa and Mastercard, a surcharge apply), and direct deposit

Your satisfaction is our priority. If you need further adjustments after your initial fitting, we offer one complimentary adjustment within 14 days of pickup.

I only work with garment alterations and do not offer upholstery services.
