Alter Me

Every bride dreams of finding the perfect wedding dress, and Alter Me is dedicated to turning that dream into reality.

As a premier one-stop bridal shop, Alter Me specializes in providing a comprehensive range of wedding dress services. The three main services—ready-to-wear collections, bespoke bridal, and bridal alterations—are designed to cater to every bride’s unique needs and desires.

At Alter Me, the team understands that finding the right gown is just the beginning of the journey. That’s why the bridal alterations service is a crucial part of what is offered. When brides receive their gowns, it is essential to seek out a bridal specialist for alterations. Unfortunately, not all alteration services are equipped with the knowledge and skills required for bridal gowns. Many brides who have turned to general alteration services have found themselves regretting it, as bridal alterations are intricate and time-consuming. The team at Alter Me is dedicated to ensuring each gown fits flawlessly, dedicating the necessary time and expertise to every single dress.

In addition to alterations, Alter Me also provides vital advice and services for long-term dress storage. Proper storage is essential for preserving the beauty of a wedding dress for years to come. After Alter Me’s bridal specialists have dry-cleaned a dress, it is carefully packaged in an acid-free keepsake box with acid-free tissue paper. This method prevents yellowing and keeps the gown pristine. Alter Me offers both the dry-cleaning service and the keepsake boxes, ensuring dresses remain as beautiful as the day they were worn.

A common question received at Alter Me is about the best time to start alterations. The answer varies depending on factors such as fabric, design complexity, and any expected changes in the bride’s size. Generally, it is recommended that the alterations process be started about two months before the wedding. This timeframe allows for any necessary fittings and adjustments, ensuring the dress fits perfectly on the big day.

Alter Me’s ready-to-wear collection, exclusive to New Zealand brides, features high-end European brands like Rosa Clara, Luna Novias, and Adriana Alier. These exquisite gowns embody romance and femininity, catering to a wide range of styles and preferences. With sizes ranging from 6 to 32 and many gowns including detachable accessories such as sleeves, capes, and jackets, the collection offers something special for every bride.

Alter Me prides itself on being more than just a bridal shop. The team is committed to guiding brides through every step of their wedding dress journey, providing expertise, care, and a personal touch. Whether brides are looking for the perfect ready-to-wear gown, a bespoke creation, or meticulous alterations, Alter Me ensures that every bride feels confident and beautiful on her special day.
