Alison was an absolute life saver for my wedding dress! Wedding dress alteration review: I purchased my wedding dress online, and for the most part if fit, but needed some alterations to make it perfect. I had taken it to a shop in Preston for a couple of alterations, but I wasn't very happy and came across The Lancashire Seamstress. I decided to try a different alteration shop at this point as I didn't feel completely at ease going back again for the third time to the shop in Preston. After having an initial consultation with Alison, I felt so much more at ease, Alison really knows her stuff and is very confident in her profession! The work Alison did for me included more or less reversing all the alterations I had at the Preston shop (which I was grateful for!) and providing corrected alterations - new pads for and lifting of the bust, bringing the waist in, on Alison's suggestion removing my corset and replacing this with a zip (I was blown away with this work, you would never have known the dress had a corset and Alison did this with very short notice! it was definitely a good call!). Alison got all my alterations done to an incredible standard in a very short space of time and I could not be more grateful! Unfortunately I don't have before or after pictures, but for anyone out there looking for alterations for a wedding dress or alterations in general, please look no further and get in touch with Alison at The Lancashire Seamstress!
Absolutely amazing service, my wedding dress was about 4 sizes too big as I bought it off the peg in a sale. Now it fits like a glove and you wouldn't know it's had any adjustments! Every step was explained to us and made us feel totally confident in her skills. Thank you!
First time using The Lancashire Seamstress but now won’t go anywhere else and will be recommending this business to all I know. The Lancashire Seamstress is a professional business with a super talented seamstress who really understands fabrics/cut. Our daughters prom dress required altering and we couldn’t have been more impressed with the service. From the initial phone call to the booking system, useful appointment reminders, fitting then collection appointment where my daughter was able to try the dress on again to ensure it was the right fit/length made the whole process easy. Our daughters prom dress was altered beautifully- quite a difficult waterfall hem made perfect. We were so happy and can’t recommend this business enough. It’s in a beautiful setting too which makes it feel even more special. Highly recommend, very talented seamstress who I would now trust with any dressmaking/alterations.
Alison has been amazing from start to finish. Clear communication and really helpful. She has altered my wedding dress massively and done a fabulous job. She also altered 5 x bridesmaid dresses and all perfect in the first fitting. Truly talented. Highly recommend.
My meeting with Alison was held on time & everything was ready to try on. All my alterations had been attended to & I came away from my appointment, a very satisfied.customer. The room is attractive & warm & compliments her high standard of work.. Linda Altham
