Standard alterations usually have only 3 fittings and these are included in the price
of your alteration. As a guide, most bridal gown alterations will be approximately
£200-£300 depending on the work involved, there is a minimum charge of £50. An
invoice will be given at your first fitting and a 50% deposit required before work is
commenced. The price will not change unless new alterations are required.
Alterations must be settled before your gown is collected from the boutique. 

Please note that beaded dresses often incur higher alteration costs due to the
intricacy involved in replacing the bead work by hand.
