What do wedding dress alteration services include?

You’re counting down until your wedding day, and you deserve not to panic.


Bridal dress alterations near you cover wedding gowns, bridesmaid dresses, and other bridal garments. Thanks to Taskers skilled in this area, you can better walk down the aisle confidently—not only because you know you look stunning, but also because you feel comfortable. Every bride has the right to feel at ease while posing for wedding group photos, mingling with close circles, calling for a toast with the guests, and slow dancing with the groom to cap off the night.


Avoid wardrobe mishaps by planning your necessary alterations at least weeks before the big day. Here are bridal alterations you can explore:


Altering the hem

Long wedding gowns have always been the go-to for that classic ethereal look. But some brides also prefer the shorter dresses. After all, they can help you overthink less about chances of tripping or ruining the outfit altogether.


If you relate to this, you can connect with a bridal alterations 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 beautiful truth is there’s no one-size-fits-all wedding gown. Each body is built and shaped differently. With this, the purpose of altering your dress’ side seams is to accentuate your body shape and make your silhouette much more visible. 


The process typically consists of 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 almost finalised. One thing just doesn’t feel right—the neckline. Good thing your Tasker can make adjustments until you feel satisfied, whether it’s straight, V-neck, high neck, bateau, or halter strap. 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

My wedding is on 6th Jan. My dress is beautiful but I need: - The current slip taken out (it keeps riding up and is showing underwear) and a new longer (mid-length) and better-quality slip put in. You would provide the material. - A satin halter neck/straps put in depending on what we decide will look best. You would provide the material. - A bra sewn into the bodice. I will provide this. - The front hem taken up slightly It’s a simple satin dress (not a big puffy one) with a sequined bodice. It would be great to have an initial fitting this week on Wednesday and another fitting two weeks later with the option of an express service in the final week before the wedding (which is on 6th Jan) if anything else needs changing (that would be in addition to the price I’m suggesting now). Ideally, you would come to me in Earls Court but if that’s not possible, I’m potentially open to coming to you. - Due date: Before Friday, 22 December 2023
