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.

It's a plain satin strapless wedding dress with toile on the skirt. I need the bodice and skirt taken in slightly, and the toile isn't sitting properly like the picture attached. I think there's too much toile at the front and it needs altering to sit properly. I'm happy to drive to you for a fitting so you can work from home. I need someone with style experience so they can make sure the toile is adjusted properly to flatter my body shape. I may also want something added to the edge of the toile to make it a little more exciting. Not sure what to add, but advice is required. Thank you.

Seamstress needed for wedding dress repair

$150

West Footscray VIC, Australia

11th Jul 2022

Hi lovely Air Taskers! I have a beloved vintage wedding dress that needs some TLC from a seamstress/anyone who knows what their doing...because it ain't me! I live in West Footscray VIC. As you can see from the pictures, there is a: 1. Small tear in the netting on the back; 2. Small tear in the train that I would like fixed as best possible and; 3. Belt requiring stitching back on. I know the netting tear will never look 100% and that's ok, I'd just like it to look less noticeable than it is now before my wedding in February 2023. Completely open to all cost-effective suggestions as I'm only wearing it once! Ideally I really do not want to replace the back as the dress is special to me but if there's no way around it then it is what it is. You would need to provide the materials as I have no clue what I'd need or advise where I could easily pick up (i.e Spotlight etc). I am open to offers and further discussion as I'm not sure how much work would be required. Thank you! - Due date: Flexible
