The images of the products in our brochure, in-store, or on our website, or in any other promotional materials are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours and fabrics accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device’s display of the colours or the printed pictures in our brochure or on a sample swatch accurately reflects the colour of the products. Your chosen product may vary slightly from those images or samples in store.

Once measurements and sizing have been taken for your order, we will not be held responsible for any weight loss/gain or any other changes in your measurements and sizing (for example due to loss of limbs including pregnancy and post-pregnancy).

All of our brides' pictures that you see on our pages are either brides who have asked us to post such images or pictures our brides have very kindly sent us of them on their wedding day for us to use.

Question 32

Alterations Terms & Conditions

Accepted Answer

Alteration quotes are based on information available at the time the quote is given. Changes made to your body shape after the initial quote is given may require extra work and therefore incur extra costs.   Deadlines can only be guaranteed if they are made at the initial consultation, and the customer gives full co-operation in meeting these deadlines. Failure to give us correct details of wedding dates or departure date will impact the alterations time and additional charges may apply.   Customers MUST bring the correct shoes, petticoats, hoops, and underwear to your fitting appointments if these are not available your fitting will be rescheduled, and a missed appointment charge will be made.   The customer is advised to wear the underwear and shoes they intend to wear with the garments to ensure the correct fit. We take no responsibility should the customer not do so, leading to the garment not fitting perfectly. In addition, no responsibility is taken for garments that do not fit correctly if the client has gained or lost weight between the final fitting, collection wedding day or any other reason beyond our control.  If we are required to do any new work outside of the original instructions ie for weight loss, gain or anything additional then initially agreed additional charges will apply and will be payable in full before the work commences.    Customers MUST bring the correct shoes, petticoats, hoops, and underwear to your fitting appointments if these are not available your fitting will be rescheduled, and a missed appointment charge will be made.   Please inform us if there is a possibility of weight loss, gain, or pregnancy. This can substantially affect fit so fitting will need to be scheduled accordingly. It will also affect the cost of your alterations.   FULL PAYMENT is required to be made at the first fitting appointment. This can be done via Credit Card, Debit Cards, bank transfers,s or cash are accepted.    Small pieces of fabric are often left when alterations are completed.
