FINISHING DETAILS
Alterations from Libertine with Love
I’M BLESSED
I am such a lucky lady, I get to work with some utterly gorgeous brides everyday. Helping them feel totally stunning and comfortable. Working on perfecting their chosen wedding look.
I offer a specialist alteration service.
You choose a dress and I make it your dress.
Whether you are adding details, re-modeling existing features or making a dramatic change the final alterations will lift your wedding look to match your inspiration.
You take all that time on Pinterest, scroll like a loon on Instagram, spend many a happy hour in gorgeous bridal boutiques and you finally find ‘The One’….you may think ‘that’s it. I am sorted’, tick the wedding dress box on the spreadsheet and take a deep smug breath….well yes please breathe (that’s kind of important), but this is where I sing in my best Carptenter’s impression “It’s only just begun”.
It’s the next bit that will take this delicious dress and make it into your dream dress. The alteration process will be the time where the most beautiful, and possible most expensive item of clothing you have ever owned is taken from a wedding dress into your individual wedding dress. Where you will begin to feel like ‘yes’ this is my wedding dress.
HOW THIS HAPPENS
I have been working in the wedding industry for twenty five years and when you pass your dress onto me to work on your alterations you are in a very safe pair of hands.
Very briefly, once you have booked your fitting appointments with me I will take care of you and your dress in a very informal and friendly atmosphere. You can tell me anything, ask me anything and suggest any details you might want to change on your dress to make it into your perfect wedding look.
I will probably see you for between 2 - 5 fittings depending on what needs altering and because I love a good natter we will no doubt get to know each other quite well.
The first fitting will be the longest, I usually allow an hour for this and it’s when we chat about what alterations or changes you would like to make and I will talk you through how I will do this for you. I will probably give you way too many details, but as I say I love a good chat and I always think its nice for you to know how I am going to approach things for you. Further fittings will be around half an hour long.
You are more than welcome to come on your own, or to bring someone with you, whichever makes you feel the most comfortable. I would suggest not to bring a coach load with you though as we might need a bit of peace and quiet to concentrate on our end goal.
You probably want to know a lot more, but don’t panic I will fill you in as we progress. So if you would like to book me drop me a message below and I will get back to you as soon as I am off the sewing machine.
