Your wedding dress made to a UK standard size may require alterations to ensure your dress is the perfect fit for you on your wedding day. This can include simple alterations such as adjusting your hem length to suit your wedding shoes or adjusting your straps to ensure your dress neckline is in the correct position.

Other alterations can include taking your dress in or adjustments to lace or beading work. We have the in house skills to ensure we can carry out all required alterations to your dress.

You will first visit our studio to have an assessment fitting with our fitters. During this appointment they will talk you through what is required, pin your dress in preparation and determine the required alterations. Once your dress has been assessed we will determine the time and cost of your alterations and book you in for your retry and dress collection.

Your second fitting will be to try on your dress with all alterations carried out to ensure your dress is ready for your wedding day. Any final amendments will be addressed and you can take your dress with your after this fitting or alternatively return to collect on a set date.

Your dress will be steamed and packed ready for your collection.

We only carry out alterations on our own dresses, once you have purchased your standard size dress or an archive sample dress you can contact us at studio@andreahawkes.co.uk or 0204 6181170 to arrange your assessment fitting.

“I can’t tell you how much I loved wearing my Joy dress, I felt both elegant and comfortable on the day, and got a lot of positive feedback. Thanks again for the service and support along the way. Very envious of the brides to be who will soon get to pick/wear their AH dresses!”
