Frequently Asked Questions about Wedding Dress Alterations
Here are some of the most common questions we receive about wedding dress alterations:
At Alterations Boutique, we don’t just specialise in wedding dress alterations. We also provide expert alterations for bridesmaid dresses, mother-of-the-bride outfits, flower girl dresses, and even suits, ensuring everyone looks their best on your special day.
We recommend bringing your wedding dress to us as soon as you have it, even if your wedding is still several months away. This allows us ample time to make any necessary alterations, ensuring your dress is perfectly tailored for your big day.
Ideally, most brides require 2–3 fittings. The first fitting assesses the changes needed, the second refines the adjustments, and the final fitting ensures the perfect fit. However, we never guarantee how many fittings may be required to complete the dress to your satisfaction. For major modifications or intricate customizations, additional fittings may be necessary. We offer an unlimited fittings policy, ensuring that your dress is perfected to your satisfaction without extra charges for additional fittings.
Yes, most dresses can be taken in or let out by 1–2 sizes, depending on the seam allowance. If you need a larger adjustment, extra fabric or creative tailoring solutions may be required.
Absolutely! Our expert seamstresses can add lace, illusion, or full-length sleeves, adjust necklines, or create custom embellishments to match your vision.
Yes! We can shorten the train to your preferred length or add a bustle so you can lift it for easier movement during the reception.
Yes, we frequently tailor wedding dresses purchased online to ensure the perfect fit, as sizing can vary significantly between brands.
The duration of the alteration process and the number of fittings required depend on the complexity of the alterations and our current workload. While we strive to complete the work within a reasonable timeframe, we prioritise ensuring the highest quality craftsmanship.

We understand that unexpected circumstances can arise, and we will do our best to accommodate last-minute wedding dress alterations based on availability. Please contact us as soon as possible, and we will work with you to find a suitable solution.
For your fitting appointment, please bring the undergarments and shoes you plan to wear on your wedding day. This ensures accurate measurements and proper hemming adjustments for the perfect fit.
If you haven’t yet purchased your wedding shoes, please inform our bridal seamstress so the hem can be pinned at a later fitting once you have them.
Fittings are scheduled to last a maximum of 30 minutes. It’s important to arrive on time for your appointment, as arriving late may result in a reduced fitting time to accommodate other clients who are booked after you.
We recommend bringing no more than two people with you to your appointment.
To minimise the risk of staining wedding dresses, food and drink are not permitted on the premises.
While we love animals, we regret that they cannot be permitted on-site to avoid the risk of staining wedding dresses.
