Luxury bridal gown alterations with lace detailing by Mel Rose Couture in Melbourne.

BRIDAL ALTERATIONS

If you've chosen your wedding gown and it needs refining before your big day, I offer a limited number of bridal alteration consultations each season.

Bridal gowns are carefully constructed garments. They often include internal structure, delicate fabrics and design details that require thoughtful handling. My role is to refine the fit so the gown feels secure, balanced, and, comfortable to move in.

This service is focused on wedding gowns that require considered fit refinement, including internal shaping and finishing.
