Beautiful Imogen 💕🪡✨

Her gorgeous gown from needed just a few tweaks to get the perfect fit for her petite frame. This wasn’t just a case of taking in the side seams though ✨✨
I took in more from the front bodice than the back and through the princess seams so that the shoulders wouldn’t end up too far over Imogen’s shoulder point. After lifting the shoulder straps I also scooped the underarms so they weren’t too tight. I also took the side seams in through the back seams, added a belt to the waist seam and shortened the hem to the perfect length.
Loved this result 💕✨🪡

How I used AI to help a mother of the bride decide on her sleeve transformation 💚

Nicola was at the studio along with her daughters bridesmaids as they were having their fittings. She expressed she was unsure about her outfit as she felt something about the sleeves wasn’t right. She showed me a picture and we used AI to generate an image with short floaty sleeves instead. She was sold!
I then removed the sleeves, cut a new sleeve pattern and added the shamrock trims which Nicola loved, back onto the new sleeve.
For all it’s faults, AI was really helpful with this one 💚🪡✨

Gorgeous Ellie 🪡✨

Ellie came to me with her stunning gown from 💕
Ellie wanted a more secure and snatched fit for her petite frame. Princess seams and back seams were taken in, which also involved removing, shortening and replacing the bodice cuff.
I also shortened the hem for the perfect finish 💕✨🪡
Congratulations Ellie, you look beautiful 😍

This one was special 🪡✨💕

Kailey came to me before Christmas 2025, with her beautiful silk taffeta gown from and a very clear vision of the look she wanted.
Soooo much work went into this gown;

Firstly, Kailey wanted to really show off her figure with a snatched waist and also wanted to rework the neckline to a cat eye finish. This meant lifting the appliqué & working the bodice back together with the new silhouette 🪡✨
We came across an issue with the fit of the torso being too long- which led to shortening the bodice by adding a waist seam, slightly nerve wracking cutting a dress in half 🙈 but was so worth it for the perfect fit.
We also shaped the hips and bum area to ensure ease within the dress for sitting down and dancing while also really flattering Kailey’s gorgeous figure.

Secondly, Kailey wanted a show stopping overskirt, I think words used were “huge” “extra” and “puffy” 🤣
We sourced matching silk taffeta, cut a large overskirt and added lots of netting for volume with minimal weight. This meant the skirt could be detachable for 2 different looks throughout the day. Finally, buttons were applied through the centre back seam.

Thirdly, I created a custom veil. Kailey wanted a short, glamorous veil which complemented the rest of the gown with out overpowering it 💕✨

This has to be one of my favourite ever projects! It’s difficult to express how much work went into the gown but seeing Kailey’s face light up at fittings and then receiving the most amazing pictures of her big day has been the best!!

Thank you Kailey for trusting me with your vision, I had an absolute blast with you, your mum & friends during this project and you look INCREDIBLE on your big day 😍✨🪡💗

A perfect fix to conceal a bra ✨🪡
Using the excess fabric from shortening the hem, I was able to create inserts on the back which disguised the bra straps.
A solution to wearing a bra with a gorgeous wedding guest outfit 💕✨

Beautiful Sarah left a lovely review 🪡✨💕

“Couldn’t recommend Hayley enough! I was booking my alterations quite last minute but the whole process was so easy with getting appointments to fit my schedule! She did the most amazing job with the alterations and the dress fit perfectly, thank you so much 💖”

Thank you so much for your lovely review Sarah, you look amazing on your special day 💗🪡✨

Custom sleeves and bodice take in for gorgeous Olivia 💗🪡✨

We took the back bodice in through the zip to the hips to get the most perfect fit for Olivia. Taking in the main dress led to also taking in the overskirt as it was fitted to the bodice neatly. Custom sleeves finished the look and the hem was shortened.
Olivia looked absolutely stunning with the right fit 🪡✨💕

Beautiful beaded gown for Lucy ✨🪡

Lucy’s gown needed quite a bit taken in for the perfect fit, which I altered through the back zip & side seams.
Lucy also requested more of a flare in the volume of the skirt, so I added another layer of gathered netting to fluff it up as well as skimming the side seams of the skirt to accentuate the shape.
Finally the beaded hem was shortened, removing and replacing the scalloped edge ✨🪡
I was so chuffed to receive the gorgeous pictures of Lucy on her special day, thank you for sharing & congratulations 🥂 💗

This one was a beauty ✨🪡💕

Gorgeous Lucy came to me with this stunner of a gown, which was too big at the bodice and too long in length.
I fitted the bodice to give support and accentuate her waist & removed and reapplied the fluffy tulle frills once the length was cut 💗
The colour, style and super soft tulle were to die for ✨🪡

Stunning Danielle ✨🪡💕

The bodice was too big overall with minimal support at the bust. We took in the back seam, adjusted the side seams to angle the bust & added boning throughout the bodice. Also shortened the hem & added a train hook.

Danielle looked amazing on her big day 💕🪡✨
