Your wedding gown should feel effortless, balanced, and completely your own.
From my bridal fitting studio near Somerton in Somerset, between Yeovil and Glastonbury, I specialise in bridal alterations approached with precision and care. Each dress is shaped through considered adjustments and detailed craftsmanship so it fits not just your body, but how you want to feel on the day.
From subtle refinements to full redesigns, every gown is carefully reshaped to sit beautifully and move as it should, with each detail thoughtfully considered along the way.
For brides wanting something more individual, I offer creative restyling, from adding sleeves or reshaping necklines to adjusting skirt volume or reworking an entire gown.
I also specialise in heirloom and vintage gowns, carefully preserving original details while reshaping them into something beautifully wearable for today.
This is a specialist process that goes far beyond simply taking a dress in. It is about understanding how a gown is constructed and reshaping it with precision.
A family gown can begin a new chapter, as a rehearsal look, a second dress, or a modern silhouette created from meaningful fabrics.
Heirloom restyling offers a quiet, personal way to honour the past while creating something entirely your own.
For brides wishing to explore the full potential of their gown, I offer private pre-fitting consultations during the quieter months, from October to February.
These appointments allow space to discuss bespoke changes, explore what is possible, and understand your investment before fittings begin.
Outside of these months, I can review images of your gown and provide a tailored cost guide remotely, ensuring your journey remains seamless.
Every gown is approached with careful attention to detail, and fittings are used to shape the final result with precision and care.
Bridal alterations. Your gown, perfected.
Each gown is different, and the level of work required depends on its construction, fabric, and design.
For this reason, I provide a personalised quote once I have seen you in your gown.
Investment begins from £280, with most gowns falling between £450 to £690 for standard wedding dress alterations.
More intricate designs, including detailed lacework, beadwork, internal structure, multiple layers, weighted hems, or significant reshaping, require a higher investment to achieve the level of finish your gown deserves.
Standard bespoke alterations include:
Hemming the gown for a clean, floor-sweeping finish.
Shaping the bodice to enhance and support your silhouette.
Adding a bustle to lift the train elegantly for your reception.
Your wedding dress deserves more than a standard fit. It should feel effortless, flattering, and completely you.
As a specialist bridal seamstress in Somerset, I focus on creating gowns that feel as beautiful as they look, with every detail carefully considered.
This is an investment in how your gown looks, feels, and moves on your wedding day.
I can’t wait to hear from you.
