Alter My Dress offers expert custom tailoring and full dress redesign services in Philadelphia.

‍

If you’ve ever wished you could change part of your wedding dress—or transform it entirely—Alter My Dress offers the custom tailoring and redesign services to make it happen.

Since 2005, brides and clients across Philadelphia, Montgomery County, and beyond have trusted Priscilla Couture’s expert team to turn off-the-rack dresses into unforgettable couture pieces.

‍

‍

Whether it’s a subtle neckline adjustment or a full silhouette transformation, the skilled seamstresses at Alter My Dress work with precision, creativity, and a deep respect for the vision behind each dress.

‍

What Is Custom Dress Redesign?

Custom redesigns go beyond standard alterations. While typical tailoring focuses on fit, redesign services allow you to change the style, structure, or purpose of your gown or formal dress. At Alter My Dress, redesigns are commonly requested by:

– Brides who purchased off-the-rack or sample sale gowns

– Those with vintage or heirloom dresses in need of modernization

– Clients who want to repurpose a wedding dress for another occasion

– Anyone with a vision that off-the-rack dresses don’t deliver

From adding romantic sleeves to creating detachable trains or swapping out fabrics, redesigns are as functional as they are fashion-forward.

‍

‍

Popular Customization & Personalization Requests Include:

• Changing necklines and backlines
• Adding sleeves, straps, or illusion panels
• Reworking skirt shapes or adjusting volume
• Shortening a long train or adding one
• Adding lace overlays, beading, or color accents
• Converting gowns into cocktail or reception dresses

Each redesign starts with a collaborative consultation. You’ll review your ideas, assess the dress, and get expert recommendations from the Alter My Dress team before any work begins.

• Bridesmaid dresses needing reshaping or repurposing
• Prom gowns requiring style updates or emergency fixes
