Which Bridesmaid Dress Alterations Might You Need?

You may need one or more of the following adjustments to ensure your bridesmaid dress fits comfortably and looks flawless on the big day:

  • Sleeve Adjustments

Shortening or Lengthening Sleeves

We tailor sleeve length to suit your arm length and comfort, whether the dress is long-sleeved, cap-sleeved or sleeveless with straps.

Tapering Bulky Sleeves

For a neater silhouette, we can slim down loose or oversized sleeves to give a cleaner, more elegant finish.

Adding or Removing Sleeves

Want to make your dress more modest or more breathable? We can add sleeves to strapless dresses or remove unwanted ones for a fresher feel.

  • Bodice & Fit

Taking in the Waist or Bust

We shape the dress around your waist, bust, or underarms for a snug but comfortable fit that flatters your figure.

Letting Out Seams

If the dress feels tight in certain areas, we can release seams (where fabric allows) for better ease of movement.

Adjusting Shoulder Fit

We refine the shoulder fit to prevent slipping straps or tightness – ideal for halter necks, straps, and one-shoulder styles.


  • Length & Hem

Shortening the Hem

We adjust the dress length to match your height and chosen footwear, whether it's a midi-length, floor-length, or tea-length style.

Note: Some multi-layered or asymmetrical hems may need additional time for balancing and finishing.

Reshaping the Skirt

We can slightly taper or flare the skirt shape if needed to improve flow, comfort, or alignment with your movement.

  • Straps & Neckline

Adjusting Strap Length

We shorten or lengthen dress straps to lift the bodice or prevent slipping — especially important for sleeveless or spaghetti-strap styles.

Modifying Necklines

Whether you'd like a higher neckline for modesty or a slight dip for a softer look, we tailor the front to your style and comfort level.

  • Zip & Closures

Fixing or Replacing Zippers

We repair stiff or broken zips and can install invisible or matching zippers to blend perfectly with your dress fabric.

Reinforcing Buttons & Fasteners

From decorative buttons to side hooks, we secure all fastenings so you can move, sit, and dance with confidence.
