Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at Theseamstressdunstable@hotmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

How much will my alterations cost?

The answer to this will vary with the style of dress and the alterations you need.

For example shortening 2 layer dress is less than a 10 layer full skirt with lace trim.

Budget around £300 - £500 for bridal and £100 - £200 for bridesmaid, evening, prom and mother outfits. For dress design or major size changes contact me with wedding date and pictures of your dresses for a more specific costing.

How many fittings will I need?

Usually 2 fittings. A first fitting 3/4 months before the wedding. A final/collection fitting 3 weeks-ish before the wedding.

Can I bring people with me?

Yes your welcome to bring people with you to your fittings. Please note my studio is small so only 2 or 3 people will fit comfortably.

What do I need to bring with me?

For the fitting you will need the shoes you will wear on the day and your bra (if your wearing one)

I do have a selection of sew in bra cups if a bra is not an option but you want a little support. (if you have a very large chest please contact me in advance so I can ensure I have your cup size available for your fitting)
