Price List
The cost of your alterations is highly dependant on what work needs to be done to your dress and the difficulty. I do not charge more for wedding dress alterations as I believe that all special occasion wear takes just as much time and effort. This list is not definitive and all prices are approximate only but it should give you a good idea as to the potential cost of your dress alterations. If you would like more information about my prices please feel free to contact me with a photo of your dress and I can advise you further.
I do not charge for fittings but there will be a deposit required of £50 for wedding dresses and £25 for other dresses before alterations are started. This deposit will then be deducted from your final invoice.
