Every gown is different, and bridal alterations are never “one size fits all.”
I work carefully with each dress to respect its original design while tailoring it precisely to your body.

​

Services include:

Bodice and waist reshaping

Hemming and train adjustments

Strap and sleeve alterations

Bust support and structure

Lace, applique and detailing work

Alterations are approached with a couture mindset, ensuring the final result looks seamless — never altered.

What to Expect from Your Bridal Alterations

An initial consultation and fitting, including assessment of gown construction and required tailoring.

One or more refinement fittings, depending on complexity.

Final fitting and finishing touches.

To maintain the highest standard of work, bridal bookings are limited each month so every gown receives the time and attention it deserves.

​

Your gown will be handled with care, discretion and respect at every stage.

I have experience working with:

Designer and bespoke wedding gowns

Fine fabrics and complex construction

Brides who value quality, fit and craftsmanship

You will never be rushed through fittings, and no work is undertaken without discussing options and outcomes with you first.

​

Based in Manawatu, The Sewing Lab services brides from:
Palmerston North, Feilding, Levin and surrounding regions.

If you are travelling for fittings or working to a specific wedding timeline, this can be discussed during your consultation.

​

Your wedding dress deserves expert hands and a thoughtful approach.
