Emergency Alterations

June 1, 2021 By La Couturier Alterations

Leanne bought her wedding dress last year and was previously altered by another alteration shop referred by the seller. They offered her a low cost alteration that did not fix her fitting issue. Upon checking the dress during our initial appointment, only minimal work was done to the dress. The cutting and sewing were rough and poorly done. They avoided the difficult but … [Read more...] about Emergency Alterations

I can't recommend Tsu highly enough! She has done the most amazing alterations on my two wedding dresses and they are... perfect - you can't even tell they've been altered. I found Tsu and her business by Google after a lot of searching for someone who specialises in intricate and lace bridal alterations. I was concerned that alterations would wreck my dresses, but Tsu spent hours meticulously making perfect changes. Because my dresses were so complex, she essentially had to take the whole things apart to make them smaller for me, and now you can't even tell. Tsu has finished the seams in the couture way in which they were before, and the dresses fit perfectly. She's a total professional and she know exactly what she's doing. I would absolutely recommend her business.read more

Tsu has completed several alterations for me and is kind, patient and professional and yet gives firm and wise advice.... I would not hesitate to use La Couturier for any future services. I am a transgender client so not the easiest to measure and accommodate but everything she has done has worked perfectly, and she is very TG friendly. I will certainly be using her services again, probably many times, in the future. These are photos from a wedding party 'event' I created. PS I have seen some negative reviews and have to say that I completely agree with the response of Tsu. These are clearly from people with the sole intention of getting 'something for nothing' and therefore setting unrealistic expectations. Please don't take notice of them. This is a highly professional service from a skilled individual who takes pride in her work and always speaks the truth.read more

Tsu went above and beyond to make sure I had my wedding dress altered in time. The store I bought my wedding dress from... held my dress from me and didn't give it to me until a month before my wedding. When I received the dress, it was so big on me and did not fit well at all. I was very stressed out but Tsu assured me that she would alter my dress in time. What should've been a 6 week job, Tsu did in 2 weeks. She stayed up very late nights and worked through the Christmas break to make sure my dress was done in time. I visited her a few times whilst she was altering my dress, despite the short time limit she had, she never rushed the job. She carefully hand picked the lace patterns and re-sewed them on. We had multiple fittings, she made 100% sure the dress fit me perfectly. I was extremely happy with her service, she really went out of her way to make sure I was happy with my dress. She also made me a veil which was absolutely beautiful. I have recommended Tsu's services to all of my friends, and every one of them have been so grateful I have introduced her to them. I cannot recommend her enough!read more

Tsu was very honest and truthful in what she said. She gave me important advice on the kind of wedding dress best suit... my body. I listened to her and bought the right dress in the correct size. She then altered it perfectly and it fit me like a glove. She was very professional and patient throughout the whole experience from initial contact to final pickup. If you’re looking for the best service and value, this is the place to go. Highly recommended.read more

If I could give Tsu 15 stars out of 5 I would. I messaged Tsu at 7pm on a Thursday night regarding some emergency... alterations for my wedding dress, for my wedding happening on the Saturday. And when I say emergency alterations.. I’m talking a whole dress alteration that would usually take weeks. Tsu did not hesitate to hear my pleas and responded promptly within minutes to let me know she would gladly help me out. She offered an appointment the following day with a guarantee of the dress being done by the Friday evening. Her professionalism, knowledge and time management was second to none. She was clear and concise regarding the alterations she recommended and boy did she work hard to make the vision come to life. She kindly slotted me in amongst a completely booked out day and worked tirelessly for hours that day, even staying late past her closing hours. All whilst staying extremely calm and positive the whole time. You might think that trying to do an alteration like that in such a short space of time might impact the quality of the outcome.. but that was not the case with Tsu. The final product was stunning. Perfect even. If you’re unsure about whether or not to visit La Couturier Alterations, take this as a guarantee that the work will be spectacular and Tsu is an absolute professional with exquisite knowledge and vision. Thankyou doesn’t quite cut it.read more

For any bride who is worried about finding a great person to help you alter your wedding dress, Tzu is the person to go... to! You are paying a lovely person who knows what she's talking about, will advise you how she approaches your dress and have the final product as discussed. Tzu worked a tight timeline for me as I had 3 weeks until my wedding due to situations outside my control. Thank you so much Tzu as my wedding dress looks fantastic after you have worked your magic on it!read more

Absolutely brilliant service. Had a very short turn around for alterations on a bridesmaid dress I’m wearing in the UK.... It was too big and required shortening and a whole zip replacement to fit properly whilst ensuring the all over beading stayed intact. It now fits like a glove, and looks stunning! The workmanship is incredible and all done with plenty of time before my flight to the UK. THANK you - amazing serviceread more

Cannot recommend enough!! Absolutely loved my dress, I had a strapless dress with a lace bolero as I wanted my... shoulders/arms covered but the strapless dress was perfect in every other way. So I had the bolero sewn to the dress along with a bra sewn into the dress. I was so happy with the results it looked perfect and no one knew that they were separate pieces to begin with! Pricing is great for the service you receive! Thank you xread more
