Top Wedding Dress Alterations related questions
The ideal choice would be two months before your special day. You wouldn't want to come in for a fitting sooner than that as bodies can often change over time. Booking an appointment late, however, may not give enough time for your alteration specialist to do your requested alterations. Also, it's best to have your final fitting two weeks before the big day to ensure that everything fits perfectly.
You have the liberty to decide. If you think it can boost your confidence and increase your comfort, you can. But there’s no need to pressure yourself to do so. After all, alteration services are here to make sure your dress fits you flawlessly, flattering your physique no matter your body shape or type. If you decide to lose weight, please consult your physician or dietician to make sure you're doing it healthily.
You can always get a wedding gown in your actual size for good measure. If this isn’t possible, you can purchase a dress that's at least two sizes bigger since tailoring down a larger dress is easier than readjusting a smaller one. However, you shouldn't get an oversized off-the-rack dress either. Altering larger dresses can be very difficult, and it would be a challenge to maintain the design’s integrity.
In the United Kingdom, the usual costs of wedding dress alterations are as follows: hem (standard designs) at £80, hem (delicate fabrics) at £100, side seams adjustment at £60, skirt adjustment at £60, and beadwork or finishing at £25 (per hour). Changing the train ribbon and adding the back panel would need £5 and £30, respectively.
The cost of bridal alterations involves several factors like the type of fabric, state of the dress before alteration, amount of work required, and if there’s additional beadwork. It’s also influenced by your location, how busy the season is (like prom), the seamstress’ level of expertise, and if your order is rushed.
Carry your bridal shoes and nude-coloured undergarments that you intend to wear for your wedding. This ensures that every measurement is as exact as it can be, and to see if everything, from head to toe, goes well together. You can also bring your accessories and photos of your makeup and hairstyle pegs so you can visualise your overall look better.
An hour to complete one fitting session is usual. Generally, you'll need to undergo three fittings. The first one is for pinning and tailoring the wedding dress. Meanwhile, hem, neckline, side seams, and waist alterations are done on the second fitting session. The third session is for you to try on the dress to make sure you're delighted with how it fits!
To make the big day as magical as you wish, you can book professionals on Airtasker to help you out with dry cleaning your dress, designing your invitations, food catering, and keeping your guests entertained with a performance, among others.Â

What do wedding dress alteration services include?
You’re counting down until your wedding day, and you deserve not to panic.
Bridal dress alterations near you cover wedding gowns, bridesmaid dresses, and other bridal garments. Thanks to Taskers skilled in this area, you can better walk down the aisle confidently—not only because you know you look stunning, but also because you feel comfortable. Every bride has the right to feel at ease while posing for wedding group photos, mingling with close circles, calling for a toast with the guests, and slow dancing with the groom to cap off the night.
Avoid wardrobe mishaps by planning your necessary alterations at least weeks before the big day. Here are bridal alterations you can explore:
Altering the hem
Long wedding gowns have always been the go-to for that classic ethereal look. But some brides also prefer the shorter dresses. After all, they can help you overthink less about chances of tripping or ruining the outfit altogether.
If you relate to this, you can connect with a bridal alterations specialist who can adjust the hem of your dress to match with your height or style better. Here’s a tip: Bring your wedding heels on the alteration appointment day. This can further help your Tasker figure out the right hem length for you.
Altering the side seams
The beautiful truth is there’s no one-size-fits-all wedding gown. Each body is built and shaped differently. With this, the purpose of altering your dress’ side seams is to accentuate your body shape and make your silhouette much more visible.Â
The process typically consists of fitting on the hips, waist, and butt. It’s best to coordinate with your Tasker to know if it’s possible to alter the dress size, too.
Altering the neckline
Your wedding dress is almost finalised. One thing just doesn’t feel right—the neckline. Good thing your Tasker can make adjustments until you feel satisfied, whether it’s straight, V-neck, high neck, bateau, or halter strap. Also consider your body type and accessories when choosing a neckline.
If you’ve ticked off the wedding gown matters done, why not proceed to hiring someone who can take care of the hairstyling and makeup department, too?
Other special alterations
Managed to get cool off-the-rack or ready-to-wear bridal garments? Special wedding dress alterations are ideal for personalising these. Whether it’s adding a complex lace pattern or a certain amount of tulle for extra oomph, just align with your Tasker regarding your expectations
