Buying a wedding dress is not like buying ‘off the shelf’ high street fashion. Nearly all wedding dresses will need some alteration, as a size 12 dress may not fit a size 12 person in every way. Some brides are sold wedding dresses without being given any advice on which style best suits their figure, or guidance on what alterations may be required.
Elizabeth Ayers has a wealth of experience to give you the confidence you deserve to feel when wearing the dress of a lifetime. After all, it’s not all about the dress, it’s about you radiating your natural beauty on your special day. A properly fitted dress will help you do that by making you feel confident, comfortable and happy from the inside out.
Buying a pre-owned or shop sample wedding dress is a great way to save money, but often comes with compromises on size and fit. Elizabeth Ayers has the skills to overcome this by altering the dress to fit you, and she can even adjust the style of the dress to modernise it or customise it to your personal taste.
Elizabeth can customise a ready-made dress by altering the shape of the skirt, sleeves, or by adding decorative touches. Even a simple change such as swapping a zip for covered buttons can have a dramatic effect! We can remove an unwanted train and making it into a jacket or bolero; a great option for mature brides or those who prefer to cover their arms.
On the day of your appointment with Elizabeth, don’t forget to bring the shoes and underwear you will be wearing with the dress on your wedding day, so we can ensure the best result.
“It’s not all about the dress, it’s about YOU in the dress!”
