Meet Dani

Hi, I’m Dani.

My first taste of bridal alterations was over 8 years ago now and I was immediately hooked. I love being a part of the bridal journey and making that dream dress a reality. Whether you just need the length taking up and a bustle adding or a full dress reconstruction, I’m your girl.

I pride myself on providing a friendly and professional service in a comfortable and relaxed environment. It’s all about the experience for my brides and my gorgeous town centre studio in the Byram Arcade is the perfect place to continue your bridal journey. For me it’s about making sure that every bride leaves feeling confident and beautiful in her dress.
