What do wedding dress alteration services include?

Bridal alterations near you cover wedding gowns, bridesmaid dresses, and other bridal garments. Alteration experts can make sure that you and your bridal entourage look and feel fabulous with your attire as you pose for your wedding photos or dance the night away with your spouse! 

You wouldn't want to deal with unexpected dress mishaps on your special day, especially after planning every detail of your wedding carefully for months. Ergo, it's essential to get the necessary alterations at least weeks before your wedding date.

Altering the hem

Most brides opt for longer wedding gowns to look more elegant and ethereal. However, if you were able to spot an off-the-rack wedding gown and prefer it shorter, an alteration expert can easily adjust its hem to suit your height or style better. A shorter hem is also more manageable with lesser chances of you tripping and ruining your dress altogether. On the day of your alteration appointment, you can choose to wear your wedding heels so your Tasker can figure out the right hem length for you.

Altering the side seams

Naturally, there's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all wedding gown as each body is built and shaped differently. Altering your wedding gown's side seams can easily help accentuate your body shape and make your silhouette much more visible. The process typically involves fitting on the hips, waist, and butt. You can also consult with your Tasker to know if it's possible to alter the dress size, and they can provide you with useful information!

Altering the neckline

From straight, v-neck, and high neck to sweetheart, bateau, and halter strap, the neckline options are pretty much endless! In case your wedding dress neckline isn't what you expected, your Tasker can also make adjustments until you find the most flawless fit.

There are many things to consider when picking a neckline, including your body type and wedding accessories. Your Tasker can give you valuable tips so you can decide which one flatters your body and style the most. Once you have your wedding gown all sorted, you can finally set aside some time to look for professionals who can style your hair and do your make-up on your big day!

Other special alterations

Special wedding dress alterations are ideal for personalising off-the-rack or ready-to-wear bridal garments. If you want to add a unique or intricate lace pattern or a specific amount of tulle, your alteration expert can get it done for you! You can also have a personalised sleeve style, a fuller hem, or a longer train–it's all up to you!

Seamstress needed for wedding dress repair

$150

West Footscray VIC, Australia

11th Jul 2022

Hi lovely Air Taskers! I have a beloved vintage wedding dress that needs some TLC from a seamstress/anyone who knows what their doing...because it ain't me! I live in West Footscray VIC. As you can see from the pictures, there is a: 1. Small tear in the netting on the back; 2. Small tear in the train that I would like fixed as best possible and; 3. Belt requiring stitching back on. I know the netting tear will never look 100% and that's ok, I'd just like it to look less noticeable than it is now before my wedding in February 2023. Completely open to all cost-effective suggestions as I'm only wearing it once! Ideally I really do not want to replace the back as the dress is special to me but if there's no way around it then it is what it is. You would need to provide the materials as I have no clue what I'd need or advise where I could easily pick up (i.e Spotlight etc). I am open to offers and further discussion as I'm not sure how much work would be required. Thank you! - Due date: Flexible
