Can a bridal dress be altered to fit me?

The off the peg designer dresses can as a general rule be altered up to two sizes down if it is too big and one size up if it is too small. This may depend on the dress itself though and the seamstress can advise. The made to measure dresses will be ordered in a size closest to your body measurements, according to each designer’s size guide. Dresses can then be altered by the seamstress to ensure a perfect fit.
