Bridal Alterations
All types of bridal alterations are welcome. The pricing for alterations varies by the fabric of the dress, the way the dress is constructed, and the scope of alterations needed.
Prices for standard alterations (hem, bustle, and various body adjustments) typically average between 650-850. Customizations or modifications (adding custom sleeves, dramatically changing the shape of a neckline, adding beading to plain lace, etc) average between 900-1300. A more precise estimate will be determined at the first fitting. Lara specializes in dress customizations and modifications.

Custom Sleeves
Sleeves can be added to a dress whether it is originally strapless or sleeveless. I worked with each bride to create the sleeves they envisioned, either by ordering extra lace with the help of the bridal shop, or by sourcing something similar.
Vintage Dress Modification
Vintage dresses can be modernized by reworking or replacing parts of the dress. Each of these dresses was modernized in a different way, whether it was replacing the bodice, adding a long train, or turning a dress into separates.
Custom Pieces
A custom piece, such as a lace topper, cape, or overskirt can be created to be worn over the wedding dress. I worked with these brides to create a custom piece that they wore over their dresses during different parts of their wedding day.
