Bride in a fitted ivory wedding gown after bespoke bridal alterations by Jacqui, Shoalhaven Heads NSW

A wedding gown deserves more than a quick adjustment. Jacqui works with every bride through a series of fittings — reading the gown, the fabric and the way you carry it — so that by the final fitting the dress feels like it was made for you. Bridal is her craft, and it's what she's spent 30+ years perfecting.

Common alterations include hems and skirt shortening (including layered tulle and lace), bodice and side shaping, bustles, from simple over-bustles to multi-point French bustles, sleeve and strap adjustments, and new sleeves added, corset and lace-up back conversions, resizing up or down, delicate bead, lace and appliqué repair and re-work and train shortening and reshaping.

Every garment is finished with a steam on completion so it's ready to wear.

Quotes are provided at your consultation — every piece is different, so pricing depends on the fabric, construction and work involved.

Come with the dress you have. Leave with the one you imagined.
