Beautiful brides come in all shapes and sizes which is why we would advise you not to purchase a dress much smaller than your actual body measurements, even though you may be planning on losing weight, as it will only add extra pressure on you and most dresses can be taken down in size, by a qualified and experienced seamstress. 

We can currently offer a dress shortening service, prices vary by dress and you will be fully responsible for the length that you provide us with. We will be able to advise you where to measure from. Any dresses that are altered by us are non returnable.

If your dress requires any other alterations, please don’t hesitate to contact us for a list of our recommended seamstresses.

There are no rules, this very much depends on you as an individual. Some brides need to try on 100 while others only need to try on one.
