Altered Gown

You don’t have to be the bride to deserve a gown that fits you like a dream.

Every special occasion is an opportunity to feel confident and radiant, and the perfect fit can make all the difference. Whether you’re standing proudly as a bridesmaid, supporting your daughter as the mother of the bride, celebrating your graduation, or turning heads at a black-tie event, your dress should complement your unique shape and style.

There’s nothing sweeter than being part of your special day 🤍

A huge thank you to our lovely bride for these beautiful blooms — your kindness means the world to us! It’s moments like these that remind us why we love what we do 💐

We’re so honored to help bring your vision to life, one stitch at a time ✨

“They say the secret to a happy marriage is communication… but we think a perfectly fitted wedding dress helps too. 🤍😉”

Every bride deserves to feel confident, comfortable, and completely herself on her wedding day. We handle the tiny details so you can focus on the big moment. ✨👰‍♀️

We are so grateful to have the opportunity to work with the lovely Amilia on altering her graduation gown! She was wanting some custom work done on this one-of-a-kind gown and it turned out beautiful! Although this stunning grad could have worn anything and would have looked incredible😉. Thank you Amilia, you were an absolute pleasure to work with! 💕

“What if I just want to book a consultation?” 🤍

We’ve got you — consultations are always welcome!

We know bridal alterations are a big decision. Your dress is so much more than just a garment, and choosing the right fit, design changes, and seamstress matters. That’s why we’ve created a consultation experience that’s informative, supportive, and completely pressure-free.

For a $40 non-refundable fitting fee, you’ll meet one-on-one with one of our expert bridal seamstresses. Together, we’ll talk through your vision, explore what’s possible, and map out exactly how your alterations will come to life — including a clear investment estimate.

And if you need time to think it over, you’re always welcome to take everything home and decide what feels right for you.

Your dress, your timeline, your comfort — always 🤍 To book a consultation just visit our website and book in for a first fitting (this is your consultation😉).

✨ Hi! I’m Shanna, the owner of Altered Gown—a couture bridal and formalwear alterations studio.

We specialize in altering wedding gowns, bridesmaid dresses, graduation gowns, and all types of formalwear, helping each piece fit beautifully for your most important moments.

Altered Gown is part of a much bigger story. It’s an extension of Classic Cleaners, a family-owned business that has proudly served our community for generations. Growing up in the business my parents started in the early ’80s, I learned firsthand the importance of quality craftsmanship, attention to detail, and truly caring for every client.

With Altered Gown, I’m continuing that legacy in a more focused, modern way—blending decades of experience with a fresh approach to formalwear alterations. It’s an honour to carry forward the relationships built through Classic Cleaners while helping you look and feel your best for life’s most meaningful celebrations.

I’m incredibly grateful to be part of such a wonderful community—one that has given so much to our family over the years, and one we’re proud to continue giving back to. I’m also thankful for the opportunity to work alongside so many amazing businesses throughout Central Alberta, and for the incredible brides we have the privilege of working with every single day.

Thank you for your support 💕💕
