Bride Izzy 👰‍♂️

Izzy looked beautiful for her March wedding at Loch Ness Country House Hotel. 🤍

Her alterations included lifting the straps, carefully shaping the bust and hips for a more flattering silhouette, and shortening the hem to the perfect length. Every alteration was tailored to ensure her dress felt as though it had been made just for her.

One of the hardest parts of my job is telling a bride that I simply can't fit her into my diary.

Not because I don't want to help—but because I want every bride to receive the time, care and attention her dress deserves.

One of the biggest misconceptions is that bridal alterations are booked a few weeks before the wedding.

In reality, most brides secure their alterations slot months in advance, even though the fittings themselves happen much closer to the wedding day.

For example, my October 2026 diary has been fully booked for quite some time, and I'm already nearly full for May 2027.

If you've ordered your dress, now is the perfect time to start thinking about alterations.

Getting booked in early doesn't mean your dress will be altered early—it simply means you've reserved your place in the diary, giving us plenty of time to create a fit that's beautifully tailored to you.

Save this post for future planning, or share it with a newly engaged friend who might not know just how far in advance bridal alterations are booked. 🤍

✨ Bustles Explained ✨

One of the questions I'm asked most often during alterations appointments is:

"Do I need a bustle?"

A bustle is designed to lift your train after the ceremony, making it easier to walk, mingle and dance without carrying your train around all evening.

There isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. Depending on your dress, train length and plans for the day, we might choose a wrist loop, American bustle, French bustle, ballroom bustle — or even a combination of options.

And one important thing to remember...

🚫 Those little hanging loops sewn inside your train are not wrist loops or bustles. They're there for storing your dress, not carrying the weight of your train.

Swipe through to see the different bustle options and learn which might work best for your gown.

Which style is your favourite: American, French or Ballroom? Let me know below! 👇

2027 Brides please note that there is a link for a Google form in the booking notes (and also on your email confirmation). You MUST complete this form upon requesting your appointment. I can not review your appointment request without relevant information such as your wedding date. It's fine if you have not chosen your dress yet but please still fill out what you can.

I do not want to chase up brides for this information, especially this time of year, peak wedding season when there is not much spare time. Equally I do not want to decline your appointment request because you haven't filled one out and are not replying to my texts!

👰‍♀️ Bride Flossie 🤍

Every alteration is about helping a bride feel comfortable, confident and completely herself on her wedding day.

For Flossie's dress, alterations included:
• Lifting the shoulders
• Taking in the sides for a more tailored fit
• Adding cups for support and shape
• Adjusting the length
• Creating a bustle so she could move easily from ceremony to celebration

The result was a gown that fitted beautifully and allowed Flossie to enjoy every moment of her day at Loch Tay.
