Yes we do but we advise you to have these dress alterations booked in and done early. As we get into the summer season, our brides are our top priority and so you may find we have limited availability.

When we see you in your wedding dress we will be able to advice you on exactly what to wear. If you are struggling at all, the key things that we suggest you remember are: • Always go for a bigger size for your knickers. You want them to smooth out your figure and not create any lines. • Opt for nude, not white. You want to try to match your skin tone, not your wedding dress. • 99% of the time we advise against wearing Spanx or other types of shapewear. Sometimes these might work, but other times they distort your body shape and work against the natural shape of your wedding dress.

If you are planning to wear underwear with your wedding dress please bring it along. Most wedding dresses are designed to be worn without a bra, and we can also sew in extra support to help.

Please don’t forget to bring your wedding shoes!

You are welcome to bring guests with you to your appointments and we have two lovely fitting rooms that can accommodate everyone. However, in our experience, wedding dress fittings can be difficult for our brides if they bring too many people along. We advise you to limit your party to one or two people that you trust the most. Some of our brides prefer to come alone – it is entirely up to you.

The Modiste bridal alteration experience starts from around £350-£400. This is if your wedding dress is being fitted to you on the bodice, the hem lifted and other classic tweaks (such as adding a bustle to help lift the train for the evening reception.) This also includes steaming your dress for the big day.

Wedding dress alterations are all based on what needs to be done to your gown so this price can increase if you are wanting customized elements added to your gown. Your final estimated cost price will be given to you at your first fitting. We accept cash, debit or credit card.

Please don’t worry, we don’t finish anything off on your dress until around two weeks before your wedding.

It is not a problem if your body shape changes before then. If there are any very drastic changes, we can alter our plans to suit the circumstances. Rest assured, everything will be explained, and dates will be organised at your first fitting.

Wedding dress collection is usually scheduled 3 to 4 weeks before your wedding. Your wedding gown will be freshly steamed, prepped, fully checked ready for your final try on. You will then take away your finished gown that same day ready for the big day.
