What Our Brides Say

Bridal testimonial Francesca pinto

I had my wedding dress altered and restyled here, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! The level of service, expertise, and craftsmanship from the tailors was truly impressive. They did an amazing job both before and after the wedding, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. I’m incredibly grateful for their professionalism and attention to detail—thank you so much!

I felt a little nervous after spontaneously buying my beautiful, preloved dress on eBay and realising it didn’t quite fit perfectly. Bride & Alter came to the rescue, making me feel completely at ease during the appointments. They offered great advice for travelling to Italy with the dress. They did an amazing job altering my fully sequinned tulle layered dress. I felt so secure and comfortable and, best of all, felt beautiful on the day, thanks to them!

I had a wonderful experience with Bride and Alter, especially with Giorgia who looked after me from the beginning. I came to Bride and Alter with my mums 1992 wedding dress and wanted somewhere that would look after it and not change it too much. Giorgia was patient and helpful with her suggestions but always listening to what I was wanting. The dress was tweaked to fit like a glove and and couple of layers of tulle removed. It looked the same but somehow different! It was perfect. Thank you for everything and looking after such a special dress.

Dear B&A Team

I just wanted to share some of our wedding photos. The dress was perfect, and I was so happy with how it looked! Thank you for everything you did for me and thank you to the whole team. It was such a journey, and I can’t quite believe we got there!

I’ve just collected my wedding dress after my final appointment and I couldn’t recommend Design & Alter more. In particular, if you’re lucky enough to be paired with Lily, you’re in for a wonderful experience. My dress was quite fiddly, and my vision was something that would involve the team putting their heads together to find a solution for what I had been dreaming of. The team worked their magic and today I tried on my dress for the final time and was just so thrilled. Lily truly made the experience for me – we had several appointments including one where she kept me calm on an incredibly hot day and worked around me super quickly and professionally when I was feeling quite uncomfortable (not due to the dress but the heat!). In all honesty the prices were high, but I would say worth every penny given the quality, care and service that was clearly put in. Definitely would recommend and will be coming back when I next need something tailoring!

Hi Eva, I hope you’re well! I just wanted to write and thank both you and Sylvie so so much for all the work you did making my wedding dress. You really made my vision come to life and I honestly couldn’t have been happier with the dress on the day. I felt so sad taking it off, that I’ll never wear it again!

Not only that but you were so kind and patient with me, it was just the most lovely experience, thank you 🙏

I wanted to share some pictures with you of the day, please feel free to share if you’d like

Hi Bride and Alter, I recently got married and wanted to share my thanks and some photos from the wedding. The alterations made my dress fit me like a glove and the custom-made veil added the perfect amount of drama. I received so many compliments.

Please extend my thanks to Nina who was brilliant to work with
