What do wedding dress alteration services include?

No need to panic while counting down until your wedding day.


Bridal alterations near you cover wedding gowns, bridesmaid dresses, and other bridal garments. Professionals skilled in this area can give you the confidence to grace the ceremony with beauty, elegance, and most especially comfort. Who doesn’t want to feel at ease while posing for wedding group photos, mingling with family and friends, sharing a memorable toast with the guests, and slow dancing with their partner?


A wardrobe malfunction shouldn’t be in the picture, so it’s wise to get the necessary alterations weeks before the special day. Here are more details about bridal alterations:


Altering the hem

While most brides go for long gowns that give off that mesmerising look, some prefer their wedding dresses shorter. After all, they’re helpful when it comes to lessening the chances of you tripping or ruining the dress altogether.


If you relate to this, you can connect with a bridal alteration specialist who can adjust the hem of your dress to match with your height or style better. Here’s a tip: Bring your wedding heels on the alteration appointment day. This can further help your Tasker figure out the right hem length for you.


Altering the side seams

The one-size-fits-all wedding gown doesn’t exist—each body is built and shaped differently. So, the purpose of altering the side seams of your dress is to accentuate your body shape and make your silhouette much more visible. 


Usually, this process involves fitting on the hips, waist, and butt. It’s best to coordinate with your Tasker to know if it’s possible to alter the dress size, too.


Altering the neckline

Your wedding dress is as gorgeous as you expected, but does the neckline seem a bit off? Whether it’s straight, V-neck, high neck, bateau, and halter strap, trust that your Tasker can make adjustments until you feel satisfied with the fit. Also consider your body type and accessories when choosing a neckline.


If you’ve ticked off the wedding gown matters done, why not proceed to hiring someone who can take care of the hairstyling and makeup department, too?


Other special alterations

Managed to get cool off-the-rack or ready-to-wear bridal garments? Special wedding dress alterations are ideal for personalising these. Whether it’s adding a complex lace pattern or a certain amount of tulle for extra oomph, just align with your Tasker regarding your expectations.

Please note that this wedding dress is beaded throughout. I need someone who can work a miracle on this wedding dress sample: 1. The dress fits me well except for the waist as I cannot zip it up (approx 4 cm off the end of the zipper) 2. There isn't much excess fabric to work with in the bodice so best option would be either to adjust the zipper or add extra fabric. 3. The white belt that comes with the dress is too small so I also need a while belt to be made. 4. Take up hem or make the dress a bias cut Thanks for your time!

I have a strapless dress that needs to have a top added inside, either of a similar lace, or of a material in the same shade. The dress also needs to be altered at the bottom and a few beads are missing. It needs to be taken in as well. It comes with seperate optional straps with some beads from the dress on it that have come off in some areas on the dress to be sewed on where missing (only a few need to be re-added). I’d like a veil made in the same material too! Need the dress by 3rd February.
