Expert Wedding Dress Alterations

Your wedding gown is likely the most significant garment you will ever wear. My approach to bridal alterations goes beyond simple fit; it is a process of technical deconstruction and reconstruction designed to honor your silhouette. I analyze the architecture of the dress—from the internal boning to the delicate lace appliqués—to ensure that the final result looks as though it was originally created just for you. Using Venetian-trained techniques and couture-grade materials, I provide the precision required for high-end designer gowns and vintage restorations alike.

The Precision of Reconstruction

True gown reconstruction is an engineering feat. Unlike basic alterations, this process involves the meticulous deconstruction of the garment to its original seams. Utilizing my Venetian technical method, I re-draft the internal architecture to align perfectly with your unique measurements. This ensures that even the most complex designer gowns retain their structural integrity while providing a fit that feels like a second skin.

To ensure the highest level of technical precision, every alteration begins with a thorough anatomical assessment.
