When a disaster lands at your doorstep after someone else attempted to do alterations to a stunning bridal gown. 😔

It was tears of sadness late Friday afternoon.
We had 4 days to completely remake the entire bodice of our beautiful brides dress.

Tears of joy Thursday afternoon when our bride picked up her dream wedding dress that she had originally fallen in love with. 😍
Thank you for trusting us with your beautiful dress. 🙏

At Alteration House we take so much pride in our work. We work very closely with our brides to give them exactly what they envision.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🤍 I appreciate you making the huge trip, you & your entire bridal party made from the Berwick to Essendon 🥰 more than words will ever say.
Thank you 🙏

"Thank you To say that Paula is exceptional at what she does, would be an understatement! I first met Paula many years ago, when she operated her alterations business out of home, and made the most beautiful baptism gown for my niece out of our mother’s bridal gown. Since then, being local to home, I continued to see Paula for any alterations I needed. Then in 2020, Paula relocated (to over an hour away) to open Alteration House! In 2021, when I purchased my bridal gown, I knew without a second thought that Paula would be my go-to for the alterations!! As it turned out, my gown from Raffaele Ciuca needed MAJOR alterations. Paula, alongside the lovely Maria, observed things about the gown that we would have never picked up on until they put their exceptional talent to work! The way they totally transformed the gown in a way that bought out its true beauty without changing it was just breathtaking!! It took no time at all for the gown to feel as if it was made just for me!!! Among the other alterations I required was a bridesmaid dress for a bridesmaid who fell pregnant after the dress was purchased and was due to be 8 months pregnant by the time of the wedding. Once again, Paula and Maria completely transformed the dress which was over 2 sizes too small to fit my bridesmaid perfectly! We really put Paula & Maria under the pump when we also bought the suits in for tailoring which also needed some major work. Paula & Maria were so patient and just delivered the most exceptional end product! We are so thankful for the way their service truly saved our special day! Rhys, Sarah & Co. Xo."
