Making brides feel confident and radiant on their special day.
PUUREBRIDE
I’ve always worked in the garment industry and sewn from an early age but for the past 18 years I have concentrated on the bridal industry. Owning the successful PuureBride bridal shop was a passion but in order to get the home / work life balance I have now decided to concentrate only on bridal alterations. So if you need alterations to your wedding gown, bridesmaid dress or mother of the bride outfit get in contact.
I only work by appointment, initial appointments normally last 45 minutes.

OUR SPECIALIZATIONS INCLUDE
Altering Necklines
The depth of the neckline on wedding dresses is a matter of personal preference. Some prefer a daring plunge, while others opt for a more modest height. Incorporating a soft mesh into the neckline or backline can offer both a seductive appearance and adequate bust support.
Perfecting the Train Length
When contemplating alterations to the train length, various factors such as body type, venue, and personal taste should be taken into consideration. A longer train can create a striking, sophisticated look, adding glamour as it sweeps gracefully behind you. Conversely, a shorter train offers greater freedom of movement and convenience. Tailoring the train length involves adjusting the fabric's hem while preserving its inherent beauty.
Adding Lace Sleeves
We can provide various options for adding lace sleeves to your chosen dress. We offer detachable sleeves that can be pinned onto any gown. During the alteration process, we will first adjust the bodice to ensure a perfect fit. Subsequently, we will meticulously attach the lace or beaded appliqué to the sleeves, seamlessly integrating them with the dress.
