Bridal alterations

 

For bridal alterations, I have a tier system as outlined below. Bridal jobs are more demanding in nature due to the delicacy of the fabrics and construction, as well as the higher stakes involved. I like to make sure everything is completed with absolute precision and perfection for your special day, which is naturally more time consuming. 

​

Tier 1 - $300 

Includes gowns with alterations such as hemming 2 or fewer layers, or strap adjustments. For very minor jobs I am happy to waive the tier system in favour of my normal hourly charge, so please reach out if you feel like your dress falls into this category. 

 

Tier 2 - $500 

Includes gowns that have fit issues and need a more detailed restructure. May include alterations to a bodice, adjustments to zippers or closures, or hemming of gowns with large or multi layered skirts. The majority of gowns fall into this category. 

 

Tier 3 - $700+

This tier involves a very significant level of restructure. May include gowns with lace work that needs to be reconstructed, alterations to a bodice that necessitates changes to boning, major alterations to the size, shape or style of the dress, or projects that require the sourcing and matching of fabrics.

Bespoke pieces 

​

Creating things from scratch is a truly gratifying experience from an artisans point of view, and means that the client walks away with something unique and tailored specifically to them. I draft all of my patterns by hand, to order for the individual client, ensuring a one-of-a-kind product in every aspect and detail. I will walk you through the process including design, fabric selection, fit and finish and, together, we can create the best possible version of your vision.

​​

For bespoke pieces I take a $100 deposit, deductible from your total, for the purchase of materials and supplies.
