Alterations
The better the fit, the better it looks! Your dress should always look and feel like they were made for you.
At Bibah Michael Couture, we offer a comprehensive alterations service on all wedding dresses and occasionwear. No project is too big or too small and Bibah and the team have experience altering thousands of dresses.
Your wedding dress will no doubt be the most important dress you ever wear so let’s make sure it’s perfect for you. Got a bridesmaid dress that doesn’t fit perfectly? BMC can alter any dress and make it just right.
We offer bridesmaids/mother of the bride/groom and evening wear fittings between October-February, please book in advance of your wedding if you require these alterations.
We are also only able to offer pre-fitting consultation appointments between these months. We can talk through your ideas, what needs doing and give you an accurate quote in advance of your fitting appointments to help you budget. Outside of these months we are able to give you a rough guide over email.
Steaming service from £40 – leave your dress with us after alterations are completed and collect just before the wedding your freshly steamed dress ready for your big day!
