Made with Love Bridal

Carly Jenkins founded the Australian brand Made with Love in 2013 while looking for her own wedding dress. Since then, the brand has grown into a global bridal brand with flagship stores in Australia, the UK, and the Netherlands and supplying stockists worldwide. 

Made with Love stands for an elegant, yet down-to-earth, inclusive bridal look. The brand is committed to high-quality dressmaking with meticulous attention to detail, aiming to exceed brides’ expectations. Each dress has a unique message, a classic reinterpreted with a fresh take. Fabrics like chiffon, lace, and tulle are used playfully to create the unique Made with Love look. Brides order the MWL dresses in-store, but the gowns will be delivered by courier to brides’ home address. 

Made with love alterations 

Bride & Alter is delighted to look after Made with Love brides and has been working more closely with the brand since 2025. The dresses feel contemporary; most are structured and corseted. Many of the MWL bridal gowns are corseted yet light, with a fun, trumpet-style silhouette. Main MWL alterations are shortening the hem and taking in the sides of the corsets.

Appointments: We work by appointment, within which you will be looked after by one of our experienced fitting consultants. They will advise you on alterations needed to fit your bridal wear well. A price estimate will be established at the end of the fitting for you to decide whether or not you are comfortable going forward with the alteration. We can offer a variety of solutions to alter your garment; some might save costs. Please ask. 

*Please bring your shoes to your appointment or some with a similar heel height as well as your undergarments to ensure we can fit your bridal garments perfectly. 

Fittings are available in our spacious studio in Battersea. 

Charges: Due to many styles and finishes, it is difficult to provide an estimate for you on the phone. We need to see your bridal wear, the inside construction and also you wearing it. Charges for similar alterations may vary, in particular for complex, constructed dresses and heavily detailed designer wear. Our bridal charges are based on time at a rate of £90 per hour. For bridal alterations closer to your wedding date than 6 weeks, express charges will apply. 

Discounts: We offer a 25% discount on the alterations for all members of the bridal party including bridesmaids, mother-of-the-brides and grooms, the groom and the father-of-the-bride or groom.
