Wedding and evening dresses
A wedding dress should feel calm and secure
Even a perfect salon or online dress often needs professional fitting. With bridalwear, length is only one part: bodice fit, movement, lining, train, lace and decorative details all need to work together.
- Fitting at bust, waist, hips and back
- Hem shortening to the exact shoes
- Corset, cups, straps, sleeves and neckline
- Train, lining, lace, beads and decorative details
- Restyling a vintage or family dress
- Made-to-measure bridal or evening dress sewing
What can be changed
Dress fitting, repair and restyling
Hem shortening
We fit the length to your shoes and heel height, accounting for layers, lining, tulle, lace, train and decorative edges.
Corset, straps and sleeves
We adjust corset, cups, straps, shoulders, sleeves, neckline and bodice support so the dress sits securely without pulling the fabric.
Train, lining and lace
We work with lining, train, lace, beads, appliques and decorative details where careful handwork is needed.
Restyling and modernising
We restyle vintage, family or online dresses: silhouette, length, sleeves, neckline or individual elements.
Made-to-measure sewing
If a ready-made model is not right, we can discuss sewing a wedding, evening or formal dress to your measurements and wishes.
When to bring the dress
Ideal timing
4-6 weeks before the wedding or event so there is time for 2-3 calm fittings.
Urgent timing
If there is less time, write immediately. We will be honest about what can be done without risking quality.
For the fitting
Bring the shoes and underwear you plan to wear on the day.

Questions about wedding dresses
How many fittings does a wedding dress need?
Usually 2-3 fittings. A simple hem may need only one or two. Corset, lace, train and complex restyling should have more time.
Can you alter a dress bought online?
Yes. These dresses often need body fitting, hemming, bodice support, strap correction or replacement of details.
Do you work with lace, tulle and beads?
Yes. These materials require more handwork, so price and timing depend on layers, decoration and how accessible the seams are.
Can my mother’s or grandmother’s dress be restyled?
Often yes. We assess fabric, seams, available material and desired changes, then suggest a realistic restyling plan.
Need wedding dress alterations?
Write to us and attach photos or video of the dress. We will advise when to come for a fitting, what to bring and what level of work is realistic.
