Dressed To Impress

Had my dress length taken up. Quick and very reasonable cost.

Sue is absolutely amazing at what she does, my dress couldn't have fit more perfectly! She even created me beautiful sleeves from some material, she really is a wizard! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for wedding dress alterations! Thankyou Sue!

Fab service, lovely lady - wouldn’t hesitate to recommend! Thanks Sue for my lovely dress x.

Fantastic service and very professional. Ended up needing two wedding dresses and a wedding skirt adapting. Sue was so helpful and managed to get everything done. Would highly recommend!

I can not recommend dressed to impress enough! Sue had great communication with me, and had a very large job on her hands with such a big wedding dress and I couldn't have been happier with the results! The attention to detail in her work, her pricing and timely manner mean I will be using only sue for all future events. I have recommended her to all my family and friends and believe her professionalism paired with her warm manner makes her the number one choice!

Sue was professional and very skilled in carrying out alterations for me from a long evening dress to trousers. Would recommend her for any occasion.

Sue did the alterations for my wedding dress last year and it couldn’t have gone any better. It was the perfect experience start to finish and I wasn’t rushed at all. Highly recommended. Thank you!

Fantastic service, sue was amazing and put my mind at ease, was great we got to do a video on how to do my dress up as that was very handy on the day, the dress was amazing.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Sue as my wedding seamstress, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From our very first telephone conversation, Sue filled me with confidence in her abilities. Her passion and dedication to her craft are evident in every interaction and stitch. Sue's work is of extremely high quality. She approaches her work with a calm focus, truly listening to what I envisioned for my dress. What sets Sue apart is her honesty; she will gently steer you in a different direction if she feels that a particular change won't do you justice. This guidance was invaluable and ensured that my dress looked its absolute best. Her experience and brilliance shone through during our fittings. Sue was thorough, and always willing to keep tweaking until I was completely happy. Her attention to detail and commitment to perfection were truly remarkable. On my wedding day, I received countless compliments on my dress, and that is entirely due to Sue's transformation. She took my ideas and made them a stunning reality. If you are looking for a seamstress who is not only skilled but also genuinely cares about making you look and feel your best, Sue is the one to choose. Thank you, Sue, for making my wedding dress everything I dreamed it would be!.Moreexpand_more

Sue was incredible! Could not help enough, so attentive and is so friendly, my wedding dress was altered to perfection, put me at ease! It was amazing on my day. Cannot recommend enough! She also was amazing at changing my mums wedding headdress into a hair piece for me and an attachment to my veil definitely a challenge for her but she actioned it impeccably! Thank you so much.

What can I say! I am so pleased I have discovered Sue to do my dressmaking needs. Has altered dress for daughters wedding, taken up dress for another wedding and been there to suggest other corrections to outfit that I never thought of! Is amazing lady, who knows exactly what is needed, and does the work in next to no time at a great price. Thoroughly recommend for all your dressmaking needs.

Sue was beyond amazing ! I got married 13/4 and my dress was beautifully altered. I had it changed from off the shoulder straps to strapless and she truely transformed the dress. From her really approachable manor making me feel very comfortable, to the ease of booking appointments Sue was absolutely amazing ! I would give more than 5 stars is possible ! Thank you so much ? .

Im so glad that I entrusted Sue to work with my wedding dress. She was great from the the initial meeting right through to collecting it prior to the big day. She did a fantastic job with the alterations at a very good price and was a pleasure to speak with. I would definitely recommend.

Sue altered my wedding dress for my wedding in November. We had multiple fittings leading up to November. My dress was amazing and fitted perfect considering the long lace train that she had to unpick and re sow by hand to make it shorter. Amazing work and all done in time for my big day. She made me feel so comfortable and calm during my fittings, very friendly and chatty. Can’t recommend her enough. Thank you.

Sue very kindly finished off a set of VW camper curtains that my mum had started making before my mum passed away, and did a wonderful job at completing them. A top job all round :) Thankyou very much.

I needed a waistcoat altered in time for my Daughters wedding and Sue worked a miracle. It looked superb. Thank you so much Sue.

My family and friends were in despair; by late July I still had not found the 'one' dress for my wedding in October. I had discovered Sue on line and she was very accommodating, warning that time was running out for any alterations that would surely be needed. She kindly booked an appointment in the hope I would have found something by 10th August! Luckily a trip to a second Wed to Be store in Bournemouth had what I was looking for. When I arrived for my appointment with Sue she was very welcoming, she saw straightaway that not only did the hem need taking up but also it would look better taken in. She gave good advice about the lace bolero encouraging me to take it back for a smaller size as taking it in would spoil the effect. Sue handled my precious dress with great care and I felt it was in safe hands though I was somewhat reluctant to leave it! My second appointment was booked for late Sept for a first and hopefully final fitting. On my return in September Sue had done an amazing job, she was right, my dress was a much better fit taken in and the hem was perfect for my shoes. Sue had also reinforced the stitching on a button so I could hitch up the train for evening dancing. This proved to work beautifully and our first dance went smoothly with no tripping over long trains! The day before my wedding, with great anticipation, I went to pick up my wedding dress. Sue had steam ironed it so it looked perfect and she gave great advice on how to keep out creases until the big moment. I had many compliments on the day but most importantly my groom was moved to tears and said I looked beautiful. Thank you Sue for your guidance and professional expertise in making my wedding dress perfect.Moreexpand_more

Sue altered a bridesmaid dress for me in the summer. She was very professional and made me feel very comfortable. The dress was altered beautifully and it is clear how talented she is at her job. Would highly recommend and definitely use again in future.

Sue recently altered 4 pairs of trousers for me. One of the alterations was far from straightforward, three were hems. The hems were hand stitched beautifully on the 3 formal trousers and the appropriate machine stitching was skilfully executed on the 4th. I would highly recommend Sue's work. It is excellent.

Sue is extremely knowledgeable and professional. She provided guided me through the process step-by-step and assessed the dress for the alterations needed. The dress was pressed beautifully and collection arranged to ensure it remained in perfect condition. Thank you Sue for an amazing service and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!
