Specialist Bridal Alterations for Norbury Brides
One recent bride travelled from Norbury to my studio with her beautiful Élysée Bridal Florentina gown ahead of her destination wedding in Jamaica.
The gown featured a dramatic detachable floral overskirt, hidden structure and a sleek fitted silhouette that required careful balancing and contouring throughout the alteration process.

Alterations included:
- Hidden internal bust corset
- Hem shortening
- Bustle creation
- Detachable train balancing and attachment

The result was a beautifully sculpted silhouette that allowed the bride to enjoy both the fitted gown and dramatic floral train throughout her wedding celebrations.

Planning your own Bridal Alterations?
For the best results, bridal alterations should ideally begin a few months before the wedding day, with a pre-fit consultation, allowing us to assess exactly what your dress requires, discuss possible transformations, provide a clearer guide on costing, and give you peace of mind well in advance of your wedding day.
Please bring your wedding shoes to your fitting appointments so the gown can be pinned accurately from the very first consultation.
