“Your skill and patience made my dress perfect. We had such a special wedding day and I had so many lovely comments. I look forward to bringing it back one day to have it redesigned for wearing again.”
High-end & Bridal Alterations
Your wedding dress is not really yours until it has been tailored to your body and style. Shortening a hem, taking in the sides, shaping the waist - there are many things that we can do to enhance your dress and have it feeling just right.
The fitting and adjustments process takes a number of sessions, typically over 6-8 weeks, but we find that most people start to relax after our first consultation. We really are here to help and ensure you leave feeling confident that you can be confident on your wedding day.
Please contact us when you are ready to make your dress truly perfect.
“Each of the girls looked and felt amazing and beautiful. We had some nervous bridesmaids but you made them feel wonderful.”
Luxury Design
Balls, galas, proms... we all hope these special occasions give us memories that will last a lifetime. And for a lot of us, a part of those memories will be the dress - whether it’s a knockout head-turner, an enchanted princess gown, or an executive powerplay - we’ll always remember how amazing we felt.
The Olivia Van Der Horst team want to help you turn things up a notch with a custom dress of our own design. We combine our own fashion wisdom with your own heart’s desire to ensure we arrive at the perfect piece, everytime.
Please feel free to ask us any questions or book yourself in for an initial consultation - we are very friendly!
