BRIDAL ALTERATIONS & rEMAKES
I recommend booking in for alterations at least 2 to 3 months in advance.
Fittings will need to be in person with you wearing the same shoes
and undergarments as you will on the day.
Location for fittings can be at my studio in Plockton or I can arrange to come to you.
All measures will be taken to keep you safe.
Bridal alterations require a deposit to be paid at the first fitting. This will be deducted from the final amount.

Customer Feedback
"Every bride wants their dress to be perfect and you made it happen. With such short notice you not only agreed to help me but your work was amazing. Thank you so much Clair x"
"Clair designed my daughters christening gown using my wedding dress. She delicately altered and turned a memorable dress into a family heirloom. Thoroughly recommend Clair and her high quality work."
"I can't recommend Clair and her work highly enough. With limited notice and a pretty vague request, Clair sourced the perfect colour and fabric to make incredible long skirts for my bridesmaids. Clair is an amazing mix of a perfectionist who can work fast! My bridesmaids looked and felt wonderful - and best of all, the skirts had POCKETS! Clair is also just so lovely, helpful and patient. A very talented lady!"
