Questions and Queries
Alterations and a bespoke design service is no

Where are you based?
Despoke is based on the outskirts of Bristol, in Nailsea, BS48. Dee has a cosy but luxury fitting suite in her home where all fittings will take place. Head over to ‘About’ to view pictures of where the magic happens.
How much should I budget for my alterations?
As a rough estimate I recommend my brides to budget between £200 – £400 for normal fit alterations and £400+ for specialist or bespoke changes. Brides can spend anywhere between £150 – £700+ as it all depends on what needs sewing for the perfect fit, the construction and fabrication of the dress. Dee offers consultation appointments (£25 per hour) and these are useful to talk through the possible alterations and what can be acheived and what cost.
Do you provide a bespoke design service?
Yes we do! Despoke offers bespoke bridal, mother of the bride / groom and event outfits. The bespoke design process is magical and Dee will make turn your vision into reality. Please refer to our page ……… which explains all details about the bespoke design service.
What do I need to bring with me to my fittings?
Please bring yourself, the dress (yes, people do forget this!) your shoes you will be wearing on the day (or a different shoe if you haven’t quite made your decision yet but please ensure they are the same heel height) and any underwear you are thinking of wearing underneath the dress. Dee also recommends all her clients to bring an underwired, skin tone bra with them to their 1st fitting. This is not always needed once the alterations are assessed, but it can be useful to see if extra support needs to sewn in.
Can I bring people with me to my fittings?
Yes absolutely! Please bring your supportive loved ones with you to all fittings. Dee kindly asks no more than 2 guests to attend as the fitting space can get slightly crowded. We also ask that no children are brought along to fittings please due to health and saftey precautions.
