The Experience

At Alterations Boutique, we are renowned for providing award-winning customer service that we believe every single bride deserves. We want to make sure all brides-to-be feel truly special, by sculptung a bridal dress that fits, looks, and feels perfect yet comfortable. Whether you have already decided how you would like your wedding dress to fit or need some help from our talented bridal seamstresses, we will work on your gown until it’s impeccable.

When should you have your first wedding dress fitting?

In our experience, most purchased wedding dresses require alterations, as there is no such thing as a standard body shape. If your gown needs to be altered in any way, it’s important to have a plan in place in advance. How early you need to bring the dress to us would depend on the complexity of the alterations required. To ensure that we have time to achieve the results you desire, we recommend bringing your wedding gown at the earliest opportunity even if your wedding. This gives us the chance to get all of the work required done on your dress, as well as giving you time to have several fittings to ensure you are happy with your gown and that it's going to be in exceptional shape in time for your wedding day. Your final fitting should be close to the wedding to ensure everything, including the fit, is perfect.

Unlimited Fittings Policy

At Alterations Boutique, we underestand that some brides might lose or gain weight before their big day. Based on our research, a lot of alterations companies would want to charge you extra to work on your dress again if your weight changes between fittings. Alterations Boutique is the only company to offer a free unlimited fittings policy. This means that if we have taken in your dress previously and you lose or put on weight before your big day, we will not charge you any extra to alter your dress again. In essence, you can visit us as many times as you like until you are completely happy with your dress.

Your First Appointment

We would recommend that you bring your bridal dress to us at your earliest convenience, remembering to bring the shoes and underwear you intend to wear on the big day. During your first appointment, our bridal seamstress will understand your vision, pin your wedding gown and give you a breakdown of costs. If you are happy to proceed we will schedule a date for your next fitting. We will store your dress until then so you won't have to transport it to us again.

Christening Gown

There are many different ways of creating a christening gown but it has increasingly become fashionable to create a baby’s christening gown by incorporating parts of your wedding dress. Your bridal dress is sentimental to you and therefore it is the perfect choice to use it to create another special outfit for another special family day. For example, if your bridal gown has a train, we can use it to design a beautiful christening gown for your baby. This does not mean the end of your dress as we can use it to create a matching tea length dress you can wear at the christening ceremony. Otherwise, we can work with you to design a christening gown using all the fabric and trims from your wedding dress. Whether you will decide to create a mini replica of your own wedding dress or would like us to come up with a completely new design, or have already designed it yourself, let our dressmakers work with you to create a unique and special outfit for you and your baby.

Creating a versatile wardrobe piece

Your wedding day doesn’t have to mean the end of your bridal dress. Let our talented dressmakers turn your dress into something new, better, modern and exciting. At Alterations Boutique we have the expertise to convert your bridal gown into a special outfit you can wear regularly. Let one of our dressmakers create a beautiful cocktail gown, an elegant blouse or remake the bottom part of your dress into a stunning skirt. Whatever piece you choose, it will remind you of the memories of your special day. Our talented dressmakers will work with you to create a unique piece that will always have a special and personal meaning.
