The prices shown are a guide and a final accurate quote will be sent out via email after we have pinned and evaluated your wedding dress. Altering the size or styling to a shop bought or vintage wedding dresses can really make a dress look like it belongs to you and give you confidence on your big day. So few people are a standard dress size so most dresses need adjustment to the bodice, hem length and straps etc. By adding straps, changing necklines or lace applique can change an off the peg dress into something uniquely special.
