  Annette altered my wedding dress. I was so happy, that I went back to her for my evening dress. She did an amazing job, they both fit like a glove! And the wait time and her fees were reasonable.

  After an experience with another seamstress who said she couldn't help me because my dress was "fiddly" and was at risk of ripping if handled by an inexperienced seamstress, I suddenly felt anxious about finding a competent seamstress. I ended up contacting Annette after seeing her recommended locally. I instantly felt assured when I arrived. She was not only friendly, but I could tell she was confident about the work ahead of her. As a petite bride (5'1) the dress needed shortening, and the straps were also tightened. I've pictured a before and after. Thanks Annette!

  I had an appointment with Annette to get my wedding dress altered but while I was there I explained to her my vision for my dream dress and she managed to fully alter the neckline to turn it into a reality! My dress fitted me perfectly and she managed to take lace from other parts of my dress to do the re-design so you would never know it had been altered. Annette was lovely throughout the whole process and was flexible with appointment times. Thank you for creating my perfect dress!

  Wow, I am so pleased I found Annette to alter my wedding dresses (one for the evening reception as well). She turned two second hand dresses from a charity to shop that didn’t quite fit me properly into two gorgeous dresses that looked like they’d been designed specifically for my body. I visited her three times to get them perfect. She is an expert at what she does and I completely trusted her throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend her!

  Annette did an amazing job altering my wedding dress! I would recommend her to anyone! I had had alterations done elsewhere before, which made the dress look ok but the fit wasn't particularly comfortable. Annette managed to make the dress both look stunning and fit comfortably.
