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, and often take multiple fittings to perfect. I like to make sure everything is completed with absolute precision for your special day, which is naturally more time consuming. ​​​​​

​​

Tier 1 - $300 - $400

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 - $600

Includes gowns with some fit issues that may involve adjustments to zippers or closures, or the hemming of gowns with large or multi layered skirts.

 

Tier 3 - $700 - $800

This tier involves a more significant level of restructure, and may include gowns that require the tailoring of a fitted bodice, or alterations to the size, shape or style of your dress. 

​

Tier 4 - $900+

Includes gowns with lace or bead work that needs to be reconstructed, alterations to a bodice that necessitates changes to boning, or projects that require the sourcing and matching of fabrics.

​​​​

If you are unsure which tier your gown may fall into or have any other queries please get in touch!

Bespoke pieces 

​

Creating things from scratch is a truly gratifying experience from an craftsperson's 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 or 10% deposit (whichever sum is greater), deductible from your total, for the purchase of materials and supplies.
