Bridal Gown  - Alterations and Redesign service

Bridal Alterations and Redesigning a Gown are a little different.....

Bridal Alterations are when you pre purchase your Gown, and you love it, but it needs some help for it to be.... Perfect!. This may mean generally refitting to your size, altering the length, taking in the bodice, inserting bra cups for a better shape and so on. All of which are possible, and make an enormous difference to your Gown - infact, making it look like it was Custom made for you! 

Bridal Redesign is when you have pre puchased your Gown, and you love "some"of it! You may want a different shape skirt with additional layers/textures/fabric or embelishments, or you have a vintage Gown, bought or inherited, that you would love to wear and keep the "essentials" of the design, but modernise it a little, add some colour, change the neckline and so on. This "recreates" the Gown into a gorgeous new design, exclusive to you!
 

Formal & Bridesmaids - Alterations

Formal Gowns You will be amazed that even the most minor of alterations can create a transformation in your appearance and how you feel about yourself when wearing what will become your “favourite” dress. No more adjusting, no more pulling… it just fits and feels… perfect.  

Bridesmaids Gowns Nothing is more noticable in your Bridal Party photographs, than if the dresses do not all look beautifully fitted, or are the correct length. Alterations are generally easy, inexpensive.... and beautiful.

I was really impressed with Heather's professionalism and skill in regards to fitting me in to make alterations to my wedding gown at short notice (4 weeks before the wedding). I will be 4 months pregnant on my wedding day and the final alterations were done 2 weeks prior and final fitting & pick up 1 week prior to ensure the perfect fitting. The bodice and waist sits beautifully and the train bustles up very elegantly. Dress was pressed and is ready to put on this coming Saturday!! This is not a 'cheap' alteration service- Heather is an experienced couturier, but you get what you pay for; quality. I wouldn't trust my gown with a cheap alteration service for fear of it Looking altered! My dress now looks as though Heather made it from scratch to fit me - I am very happy. Will go back if here are any other formal occasions we have requirng her services!

Heather can work miracle! I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. She is patient , kind and professional , just what ever bride to be needs! A month before my wedding my dress arrived and I was less than happy with it, after one visit with Heather I was more than confident she could transform it into the dress of my dreams. Not only did she get the work done on time, with no stress or fuss, the dress I picked up two days before my wedding was better than I could have imagined. Thank you so much, Heather made me feel like a princess on the day!

Heather Sellick was so helpful and professional in making the adjustments and additions to my wedding gown. She was a pleasure to deal with, right from our first phone conversation all the way through when I picked up the dress. Heather deserves her "5 star" rating, my wedding dress alterations were perfect, and very affordable. Thank You!

Heather was AMAZING!!!! I had bought a dress on line from over seas and it was wearable although i wanted it perfect and Heather achieved that so well!

It was massive dress so she had a lot to work with, but she did such a fabulous job and new achieved what i wanted with the final result.

Everyone thought my dress was the most beautiful they had seen and my husband was blown away.

The price was very reasonable and the experience was so nice, as i bought my dress on line, i dint want to miss out on that dress fitting experience and using heather, i got that and my mum and i looked forward to my dress fittings more and more.. even though it took us an hour to travel, we were more than happy to do it.

i would recomned heather to any one....and already have

What can I say... You transformed my dress into the dress of my dreams. I felt like the most beautiful bride in my dress and you did such an amazing job transforming it. You went above and beyond to make sure every last detail was covered and your attention to detail was amazing. Everyone commened on how beautiful my dress was on the day and its all thanks to you. When I wasfully dressed on my wedding day I looked in the mirror and couldnt believe how beautiful I looked. My husband thought I looked amazing and said my dress was "absolutely amazing". Thank you so very much for all your help and hard work.

When I decided that I wanted to wear my mum's 1970's wedding dress to my own wedding, I knew I needed to find exactly the right person to do the alterations/re-design. From my first telephone conversation with Heather I was impressed: she was friendly, professional, honest and enthusiastic. I took her my mum's dress together with a series of pictures cut out of magazines of dresses I liked. She suggested a total re-design of the old dress, using most of it and keeping the overall 'spirit' the same but incorporating the elements I liked from the pictures I had collected. She drew up some sketches for me, gave me some fabric samples and was so lovely and excited about the whole project.

She then juggled around her schedule so that my mum, who was visiting Melbourne, could attend the first 2 fittings and see the progress in transforming her dress. This was really kind of her and she even took some lovely photos of me and my mum together.

I found the fittings quite nerve wracking, I could not see past the pins and raw edges. Heather sensed this and then sms'd me before my next fitting to re-assure me and say how nicely things had turned out.

The final dress is absolutely gorgeous, better than anything I had in my head. Heather also made me a beautiful veil. The detail and level of craftsmanship in her work is exceptional. She took a 35 year old dress and re-designed it into the wedding dress of my dreams which fits me like a glove. She even added little pearl buttons all the way down the back after noticing that I would be wearing pearl earrings on the day. She also gave me some valuable tips on how to get into the dress, as well as how to transport it.

I would highly recommend Heather. She is a pleasure to work with, worth every dollar and the ~1 hour drive out to the Dandenongs.

I bought a gown off the rack that wasn't exactly what I wanted although the sales lady at the bridal store I bought it at convinced me I could make the changes to make it perfect. I took it to Heather and she quoted me on the changes and took the dress to start work. 2 weeks later I found my perfect dress that only needed the hem taken up...I spoke to Heather and she was fantastic saying not to worry about the first dress and I should come in with the 2nd dress so she could look at it. I took the 2nd dress in and she agreed it was perfect for me and that she could see I was much happier wearing it. Heather also recommended I wear a corset underneath which I hadn't thought of which made a much better fit. I was so happy with the final outcome there was alot of layers to be taken up and alot of the dress needed to be cut off due to the length so I knew alot of work was needed. Heather also pressed the dress for me before I picked it up. The dress was a perfect fit for my wedding day and I had so many compliments. Thank you so much for all your hard work Heather I would be more then happy to recommend you to other brides who need alterations...your work is fantastic!!

Heather was recommended to me by a friend and I am pleased to advise that she didn't disappoint me at all. In fact, Heather was fantastic. I had brought a Lisa Ho gown which needed taking up. This was only a small job but Heather still provided a wonderful service and I couldn't be happier. As an added bonus Heather provided some useful tips to be mindful of prior to and on my wedding day.Thanks Heather I will certainly recommend you and keep your business card.

I bought by gown second hand and wanted to personalise it and change a few things about it. Healther altered the bust from a straight cut to a very slight sweetheart which made the dress look sensational! There was alot of work in this as the bodice was all hand beaded lace, which needed to be removed, cut to shape and then reapplied. She also lengthened the hem for me as initally the dress was too short-she did a drop hem on the satin underlayer and this looked perfect once is was finished also. She also changed the bustle so that when the dress was busltled up it sat in a nicer way and looked very romantic. Heather also pressed the gown for me prior to my big day! Although I felt the cost to be quite high by the end, the finished product was perfect! The workman ship was superb. I had so many complements on the dress. Everybody thought the dress was couture because it fit me so well and looked so wonderful. I would have no hesitations in reccommending Heather to other brides.

Heather you were absolutely sensational, I knew that I could relax and trust you with my precious gowns so close to the big day when any jeopardy with them would be a disaster. My gowns now look like they were custom made for me, and I feel all the more confident in them knowing that they fit perfectly. Highly recommended to all fussy brides-to-be who has the eye for quality and perfection.
