The second half of this video may have been forgotten (we're only human! 😅), but what you don't see is Nicola carefully adding extra tissue paper to protect the veil, folding the garment bag and hanger neatly on top, and finally closing the box before tying it with ribbon, ready for its journey home.

One of the most transformative alterations you can make to a wedding dress is a shoulder lift ✨

Many brides are surprised by just how much of a difference this simple alteration can make. By adjusting the shoulders, the dress sits at the correct height, improving the overall fit, support, and silhouette. It can prevent straps from slipping, reduce gaping around the neckline, and help you feel more comfortable and confident throughout your wedding day.

At The Wedding Dress Surgeon, our expert team carefully assesses every gown to ensure it fits beautifully and feels incredible to wear. Whether you need a shoulder lift, hem adjustment, bustle, or more complex alterations, we're here to help bring your dream fit to life.

If you haven't booked in your wedding dress alterations yet, trust our experienced team to make your dress fit flawlessly for your special day 💌🤍

Aurin chose her dream dress from .brides and we had the pleasure of doing her alterations. Here is everything we did:

✨ Hem lift
✨ Shoulder lift
✨ 3–5 point bustle loops to waist
✨ Repaired a hole at the back

As well as these alterations, we also altered the beautiful sleeves by:

✨ Adding silicone elastic over the shoulders
✨ Trimming the sides
✨ Adding appliqué detailing
✨ Bustling the underlay for free movement

These alterations added that extra special touch and completed the look beautifully!

💬Aurin kindly told us:

"Thank you so, so much once again for the beautiful work you did, the dress was an absolute pleasure to wear on the day as well as a perfect fit!"

After her wedding, Aurin also used our popular box and launder service, so her dress was professionally steamed, cleaned, and beautifully boxed to be treasured forever. 🤍

Thank you so much for trusting us with your dress alterations, Aurin!
