WED2B Wedding Dress Alterations Fulham: Amika & Luka
Two Brides, Two WED2B Wedding Dresses: Bespoke Alterations for a Fulham Wedding
Two brides from Fulham travelled to my private studio in Sutton, Surrey, for WED2B wedding dress alterations. Their Amika and Luka gowns each required a personal approach, including internal corsetry, bust cups and bustles, with Maggie sleeves added to the Luka dress. I also steam-pressed both wedding dresses and veils, seven bridesmaids’ dresses and their nan’s dress ahead of the celebration.
Both brides chose WED2B wedding dresses, but each gown required a personalised approach to achieve the perfect fit and reflect each bride’s individual style.
Alongside altering both wedding dresses, I also professionally steamed and prepared both bridal gowns and veils, as well as seven bridesmaids’ dresses and the bride’s grandmother’s dress, ensuring the entire bridal party was ready for the celebration.
WED2B wedding dress alterations Fulham | Amika Wedding Dress Alterations
The first bride wore the romantic WED2B Amika wedding dress, featuring delicate lace detailing and a full A-line tulle skirt.
To create a secure and comfortable fit, the alterations included:
- Internal corset added for additional structure and support
- Bust cups added for improved shaping and comfort
- Bustle added to lift and secure the train for the reception
- Steam pressed Dress and vei
The added internal support allowed the strapless bodice to sit beautifully while maintaining the softness and elegance of the original gown.
WED2B Luka Wedding Dress Alterations Fulham | Maggie detachable Sleeves
The second bride wore the elegant WED2B Luka wedding dress, which was transformed with several bespoke alterations.
The alterations included:
- Bodice taken in through the bust for a closer, more tailored fit by approximately 8cm to achieve the correct proportion and comfort fitting.
- Internal corset added for support and shaping
- Bust cups added
- Maggie off-the-shoulder sleeves added to personalise the design
- Wedding dress hem shortened to achieve the perfect length
- Bustle added to allow the train to be lifted after the ceremony
Adding the off-the-shoulder sleeves created a completely personalised look, giving the bride the romantic style she wanted while maintaining the elegance of the original WED2B Luka gown.
Bridal Party Dress Preparation
As well as completing the alterations on both wedding dresses, the final preparation involved steaming and pressing:
- Both bridal gowns
- Both wedding veils
- Seven bridesmaids’ dresses
- Grandmother’s dress
Professional steaming and pressing is an important final stage of wedding dress preparation, helping every gown look its best before the wedding day.
Fulham Brides Choosing Specialist Bridal Alterations in Sutton Surrey
Both brides travelled from Fulham to Sutton Surrey for their wedding dress alterations.
Many brides travel to specialist bridal alteration studios when their gown requires more than basic adjustments. Structural work such as internal corsetry, bust support, bustles and design modifications requires experience with bridal construction and delicate fabrics.
A lovely message to receive after the wedding. Seeing both brides looking so happy in their finished dresses made all the careful fitting and alteration work worthwhile — and hearing that they had received “so many compliments on the dresses!” was the perfect finishing touch to this very special double bridal alteration journey.
Every wedding dress is individually fitted and carefully altered to ensure the bride feels confident, comfortable and beautiful on her wedding day.
A Wedding Day Transformation
Seeing both brides together on their wedding day showed two completely different bridal styles brought to life.
The WED2B Amika was enhanced with hidden support, bust cups and a bustle, while the WED2B Luka was transformed with a tailored fit, internal structure and bespoke Maggie-inspired sleeves.
From the first fitting through to the final steaming and preparation, every detail was completed to help both brides and their bridal party feel ready for their special day.
