Luxury Bridesmaid & Evening Dress Alterations

Whether you're a bridesmaid, wedding guest, or attending a special event, your dress should fit like it was made for you. At Alma’s Brighton Alterations, we specialise in Italian tailoring, ensuring a flawless, elegant fit with expert craftsmanship.

Why Choose Alma’s Alterations for Dress Alterations?

Tailoring is in our blood. As a family business, we have been perfecting the art of dressmaking for generations, learning the craft from childhood. With deep roots in Milan, the heart of Italian fashion, we have honed our skills to an unparalleled level of precision and artistry. Every stitch, every adjustment, and every fitting reflects our passion for perfection. At Brighton Alterations, you’re not just getting a standard alteration—you’re getting heritage craftsmanship, passed down through generations.

Our Bridesmaid & Evening Dress Alteration Services

  • A perfect fit is essential for both comfort and confidence. Whether your dress needs to be taken in, let out, or reshaped, our Italian-trained tailors ensure a natural, elegant drape.

  • We expertly shorten or lengthen dresses for precise, symmetrical hemlines—especially on luxury fabrics like silk, lace, and layered gowns. One caveat: natural body asymmetries (like uneven hips or shoulders) are usually invisible, but may show in certain garments. If you know you have one, let us know so we can tailor for the best fit.

  • Elevate your dress by adjusting the neckline, straps, or sleeves. Whether adding off-the-shoulder elegance, slimming straps, or refining the bustline, we tailor every detail with Italian expertise.

  • Transform an outdated or ill-fitting dress into a modern, fashion-forward piece. Our dressmaking expertise ensures seamless alterations that enhance both fit and style.
