Alter a dress

$100

West Lakes SA, Australia

27th Jul 2025

To who ever can help me! I purchased a dress for a wedding in September. It doesn't quite fit. It has a zipper up the left side, it can zip up 3/4 of the way, any higher and it doesn't fit properly under my bust and accross my bust, under arms. Is there a way to make it fit and sit better but also make it less busty. I don't really want cleavage since it's for a family event. Where my hand is in the photo is where it won't really zip up from, it then becomes too tight and doesn't sit well.

Kathryn did an excellent job altering my dress – the fit is perfect and the work is beautifully done. She was so flexible and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process, which made everything stress-free. I’d happily recommend her to anyone needing alterations!

I'm more than happy to bring them to you and leave them overnight / for a day or two and pick them up again. Will assume each curtain will take an hour or less, and will budget for a highly experienced person to earn up to 50 bucks an hour to help me with this. The successful candidate will demonstrate examples of their work and experience.
