    They alternated a jacket for me and did a great job. The service was fast, friendly, to a high standard and was very reasonably priced.

    DAMAGED WEDDING DRESS…read more Though the experience started positively, the ateliers snagged a thread in the back of my wedding dress, which left a pull. They were unable to fix it, and the only option was to try and get the right fabric and replace the entire left side of the dress - which a week away from my wedding I did not feel confident doing. They then offered me a paltry compensation, which would have still left me owing them money - despite the fact that they have ruined my wedding dress. Not only this, the owner of the atelier shouted at my on the phone and was so aggressive he made me cry - a horrible man, and a deeply unpleasant experience so close to my wedding. I'm sure they're ok most of the time, but they took no accountability and for any bride out there considering using them for your dress - I would not take the risk.

    A bride moves to a completely different country after buying her dress and picking it up but before…read morehaving it altered. What to do? I called a shop in London which carried my dress designer and they immediately recommended "Designer Alterations" to me, which has recently rebranded to "Design & Alter" and changed locations within Battersea (I've submitted these changes to yelp, so hopefully they'll update it soon). I recommend calling as soon as you can to book as they do fill up fairly quickly. When I called to book my appointment, I was assigned to Marie, and had my first appointment 5 weeks to my wedding date. 5 weeks lead time wasn't necessary in the end! After my first fitting, Marie scheduled my second appointment for just 12 days later, and her work was total magic. My dress fit like a glove, boob cups were added, the hem was raised perfectly, and my mother's veil from the late '70s was updated (late '70s characteristic poof of fabric removed) with care and looked absolutely fantastic. The work was pricey, but then again, so is everything else to do with weddings. That said, I have zero regrets with bringing my dress to Design & Alter. Totally recommend it to any bride.
