How beautiful was Jess on her big day? We had the absolute pleasure of carrying out the alterations to Jess’s stunning crepe wedding gown, which featured beautiful Chantilly lace on the fitted bodice. To ensure the perfect fit for Jess’s tiny frame, we lifted the skirt, took in the fitted bodice, and shortened the dress to the perfect length. We also carried out the alterations to the gorgeous sage green halter-neck bridesmaids’ dresses.

Congratulations to you both, and thank you Jess for sharing your fabulous pictures , you looked absolutely amazing. Wishing you both many years of love and happiness together 🤍🤍🤍

No better day to share these gorgeous pictures than today, as it’s the beautiful Shannon’s birthday! How incredible did she look on her special day?

We had the pleasure of carrying out the alterations to her stunning Suzanne Neville crepe gown, along with her beautiful bridesmaids’ dresses and her gorgeous mum’s dresses too. Shannon’s gown had to be taken in quite a bit after she lost weight, and the final result was absolutely perfect on her.

Congratulations to you both, Shannon — I hope you’re having the most fabulous birthday! Wishing you both endless years of love and happiness together. Thank you so much for sharing these stunning pictures with me, you all looked absolutely unreal 🤍🤍🤍

✨Demi🤍31.12.25✨

My last bride of 2025 to collect her dress was the gorgeous Demi, and what a sweetheart she was. I had the pleasure of carrying out the alterations to her stunning gown.

Demi wanted to add more volume to her dress, so she was able to source an additional underskirt from the bridal boutique, which I then sewed into the gown. I also took in the bodice to achieve the perfect fit. As the dress was quite heavy — especially with the added underskirt — it was important to ensure the waist fitted securely so the weight of the gown wasn’t pulling on her shoulders.

I also added extra volume to her adorable daughter Indies flower girl dress, which looked so sweet alongside Demi’s gown.

Congratulations to you both, Demi. It was lovely having you, your lovely mum, and your beautiful daughter in for your fittings. Thank you so much for sharing your stunning photographs — you looked absolutely incredible. Wishing you both many happy years together 🤍🤍🤍

One of my first brides of 2026… and what a beauty Grace was on her big day! 🤍✨

I had the pleasure of carrying out the alterations to her stunning Stella York wedding gown. The dress had to be taken in by several sizes after Grace’s incredible weight loss journey, and the final fit was absolutely perfect on her. I also shortened her beautiful lace veil.

How beautiful does she look at her Belfast City Hall wedding? 🤍
Congratulations to you both, Grace , you looked truly incredible. Thank you so much for sharing your fabulous photographs with me. Wishing you both a lifetime filled with love and happiness 🤍🤍🤍

The beautiful Noleen finally got to celebrate her long-awaited special day 🤍
Noleen first contacted me back in 2018 to book alterations for her 2020 wedding. Unfortunately, like so many couples, their plans were affected by Covid and the wedding was then rebooked for 2021. With all the uncertainty at the time, Noleen and her husband decided to wait until everything finally felt back to normal.

Fast forward to 2025 — they finally got their perfect day ✨

Over those years, Noleen also lost a lot of weight and chose a new wedding dress. For her new gown, I altered the fit by taking it in significantly and shortening the length. I also added beautiful beaded tulle appliqués to the shoulders to create delicate little cap sleeves. To give a little more coverage at the back, I built it up using soft tulle and matching lace.

We also altered the gorgeous bridesmaids’ dresses. Her lovely little daughter was the junior bridesmaid, and as they had to purchase an adult dress for her, I removed the boning from the bust area and reshaped the neckline to better suit her.

Congratulations to you both, Noleen, and thank you so much for sharing your fab photos. You looked absolutely stunning 🤍

Wishing you and your beautiful family many more years of love and happiness 🤍🤍🤍

How absolutely stunning did Caitlin look on her wedding day last August? 🤍

We had the pleasure of carrying out the alterations to Caitlin’s beautiful strapless satin gown and matching overskirt. The bodice needed taken in quite a bit and, due to the structure of the dress, some of the alterations had to be carefully completed through the back zip to achieve the perfect fit.

To make the dress even more meaningful, I also created a little blue heart from her granny Belle’s blouse — a special keepsake in memory of her amazing granny to carry with her on such an important day 💙✨

Congratulations to you both Caitlin you looked absolutely incredible. Wishing you both may years of happiness. Thankyou for sharing your fabulous pictures 🤍🤍🤍

✨Andrea🤍14.06.25✨

We had the absolute honour of carrying out the alterations for our very own Voice superstar Andrea on her stunning wedding dress — including her overskirt, beaded bolero and beautiful draped sleeves which she changed for the evening. Every detail was carefully tailored to fit perfectly, with extra reinforcement added to the overskirt hooks to keep everything secure throughout her big day. We also had the pleasure in doing the alterations to her lovely mums beautiful dress too.

Congratulations to you both Andrea and thankyou for sharing your amazing pictures. You looked absolutely beautiful. It was lovely meeting you and your wonderful family. Wishing you both many years of love and happiness🤍🤍🤍
