Sew It Fits - Swindon

Sew It Fits - Swindon **By appointment only** Bridal alterations specialist. Trained military tailoress. Service also includes: men’s and women’s clothing alterations.

Wedding Dress alterations I started off my sewing journey as a military tailoress, learning all of the skills required to tailor a military uniform/suit/mess kit, to a very high standard. Also very experienced in medal mounting, both Swing mount and court mount, on full size medals and miniatures.

When your bride asks for strapless.. the bride gets strapless ✂️

Luckily this dress already had built in corset so it could easily support itself without needing straps 🤩

🩷 Lucy and Richard 🩷

I first met Lucy back in 2018, I did fittings in the local bridal shop Harmony Bride (who remembers?! 😍) and Lucy was getting married.

Sooo when I recieved the message to say they were heading off to Gretna Green to renew the vows, of courseeeee I wanted to do the alterations.

The dress brought round to the fitting.. there was just something not quite right. Then on a whim, Lucy said she had her original wedding dress in the car. Absolutely bring it into the studio!

Seeing her in the original dress again, both of us knew it had to be this one.. 🤩

To give it a little twist, lifted the hemline up to show off the pop of colour from the fuchsia shoes, while keeping the drama of that train, and it needed to be sized down too.

Fantastic to work with Lucy again, andddd her beautiful wedding gown a second time 🤩

Congratulations to you both xx

Only YESTERDAY Hannah was competing in the World Championship of Irish Dancing 🤩👏🏽

Before alterations (pic 1) the dress was enormous on the body, and Hannah could probably fit an arm AND a leg down each sleeve 😵

Now it sculpts the body as it should.

Next stop.. the World Championships in April🤩👏🏽🥳 Best of luck Hannah!
