Nearly all wedding dresses need alterations. Even when your dress is made to measure, there is always a chance your body shape might have changed from the time you ordered your dress to the time it arrives, so don’t panic if your dress arrives and needs alterations.
You will normally have 2-3 fittings for your wedding dress, and the price will be confirmed after your first consultation.
If you would like a price guide in advance then please get in touch with an idea of what you think needs doing to the dress and any photos or links to your dress - joannarobertsbridal@gmail.com
I advise to budget £295-£400 for a full dress alterations package to ensure the dress fits perfectly, but please do get in touch if you want a more accurate breakdown. Prices will depend on the amount of work each dress requires and design of the dress.
If you have specific ideas to customise your dress, please send and email with photos and references of what you want to do.

Please note, the appropriate underwear and shoes must be brought to every fitting to ensure the dress is fitted to the exact specifications every time.
Example Fitting Process:
Fitting No.1
The bride tries on her wedding dress wearing her wedding shoes. The dress is pinned to fit and measurements are taken. The fitting usually last 30-45mins.
Fitting No.2
The wedding dress is retried with the alterations made. This can be the end of the process, and the dress is taken away. Sometimes there are final adjustments to be made for the perfect fit, or to account for any weight changes. Fitting will last usually 30mins max.
Fitting No.3
The bride tries on her completed wedding dress for the last time. The dress is then ready to be taken away and ready to be worn.
If you want your dress steamed and packaged then please request this at your fitting. Steaming and packaging from £20.
