With more than 40 years of experience in clothing alterations, the team provides detailed bridal fittings and alterations for wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses and other important outfits.
Your Wedding Dress Should Be Altered Around You
Wedding dresses are rarely designed to fit every bride perfectly straight from the shop. Differences in height, proportions, bust, waist and shoulder measurements can all affect how a gown sits.
The right alterations should work with the construction of the dress rather than simply changing its measurements.
At Alterations Boutique Manchester, each gown is assessed individually. The team considers the fabric, lining, seams, lace, embellishment and overall construction before recommending the appropriate alterations.
This can be particularly important for gowns featuring delicate lace, beading, appliqué, layers of tulle, structured bodices or intricate detailing.

Planning Your Bridal Fittings
One of the most important parts of wedding dress tailoring is allowing enough time for the alterations and fittings.
Rather than leaving everything until the last minute, it is sensible to arrange your first consultation well before the wedding. This provides time for the dress to be assessed, alterations to be completed and any further adjustments to be made during subsequent fittings.
Your wedding shoes can also make a significant difference to the finished length of the gown. Bringing the shoes you intend to wear, or shoes with a comparable heel height, can help the tailor achieve the appropriate hem length.
The final fitting is also an opportunity to make sure the gown is comfortable when walking, sitting and moving, as well as looking right when standing still.
Specialist Alterations for Detailed Wedding Gowns
Modern wedding dresses can contain surprisingly complicated construction.
A gown might have several layers of fabric, a fitted corset, delicate lace, hand-applied embellishments or a long train. Altering one part can affect another, which is why experience with bridalwear is so valuable.
For example, shortening a heavily layered skirt may require several individual layers to be adjusted. A lace hem may need careful removal and reapplication, while a fitted bodice may need to be altered without disturbing the original detailing.
The objective is to make the finished gown look as though the alterations were always part of its original design.
