ball gown

Ball gowns are garments of grandeur — dramatic silhouettes, rich fabrics, layers of movement and detail. But even the most breathtaking gown may not fit perfectly right out of the closet. Whether it’s a treasured heirloom, a designer piece, or a special find, our atelier offers expert alteration and repair services to ensure your gown fits and flows just the way it should.
We work only with existing garments, refining fit, restoring structure, or updating design elements — always with utmost respect to the gown’s construction and original beauty.
Why Alter Instead of Replace?
  • Keep the magic of a gown you already love
  • Reduce textile waste and overconsumption
  • Save money compared to purchasing a new designer piece
  • Preserve sentimental value while achieving the perfect fit
  • Show up feeling completely confident and comfortable
Our Alteration Services Include:
​
Fit Adjustments
  • Reshaping the bodice for a snug, flattering contour
  • Taking in or letting out the waist, bust, or hips
  • Shortening or lengthening the hem (including complex multilayered skirts)
  • Adjusting sleeves or straps for better mobility and balance
  • Refining the neckline or backline for proportion and comfort
 
Structural & Aesthetic Modifications
  • Redesigning skirt fullness or adjusting crinolines
  • Smoothing out puckering or warping caused by age or wear
  • Replacing boning, cups, or internal support elements
  • Modernising details like closures, trims, or embellishments
 
Repairs & Restorations
  • Mending torn seams, delicate lace, or damaged tulle
  • Replacing missing appliqué, beads, sequins, or embroidery
  • Fixing broken zippers, clasps, or buttons
  • Re-lining bodices or skirts where fabric has worn thin
  • Reshaping distorted hems or damaged trains
Our Promise of Craftsmanship
Working on a ball gown is a responsibility we don’t take lightly. These garments require not just technical precision, but a deep understanding of how structure, fabric, and movement work together. From delicate silk chiffon to layered organza, taffeta, velvet, or lace, we handle every fabric with care and skill.
Every adjustment is tailored to preserve the original artistry while ensuring the gown enhances your natural grace, posture, and presence.
Let Your Gown Speak for You — Without Saying a Word
A ball gown is more than a dress — it’s a statement. Let us ensure it fits like it was made just for you.
