Thank you so much Nikki. Not only did you do a beautiful job altering my wedding dress to fit me perfectly but you also took up my husband to be’s suit trousers and made a gorgeous cushion cover out of the dress my mother in law would have worn to our wedding had she still been with us today. You did it so beautifully and it means a lot to us to be able to have that with us on our special day. I would highly recommend you to anyone looking for any type of alteration / seamstress service. Thanks again! xx

Nikki was incredible, although we kind of knew what we were looking for, she advised and helped all the way. Very professional, but totally made us feel at home.

Thank you so so much Nikki for altering both of my wedding dresses - I couldn't have been happier with them! My day dress especially was quite an undertaking but you never balked or gave the impression it was difficult which I really appreciated! Thank you for always being happy to take it up another inch or make more tweaks and making sure I was completely comfortable before I took them. Your new premises are fab too! Take care and see you soon with my next alteration needs!

I brought my dress during COVID 3 years ago and had the best experience! After trying a dress on that I fell in love with, it was kindly held back until I could pay the deposit. The alterations I had closer to the day, were done perfectly! Couldn't fault the service at all!

I took my daughter to your boutique to find a prom dress. We had no idea what we were looking for. But that didn't seem to matter. You greeted and welcomed us in. Totally putting us at ease. You allowed my daughter to look through your rails and try on anything she liked. Some just to try on for colours, some for the style. You were so friendly , attentive and supportive. No rush, and no pushy selling, It really was just about finding the right dress. Finally when it all came together. It was wonderful. My daughter looked beautiful. This was a really special experience and I think it will always be a happy memory. One that we also got to share with my daughter's nan and grandma. Thank you.

Nikki is a one person designing goddess! My daughter had the most beautiful bespoke prom dress made and no detail or alteration or request was too much trouble. From the choice of fabric, detailing and material that was friendly on the skin. Honestly she is the best and by far out shines many of the other bridal shops with her unique and personalised approach. A project I was really concerned would not meet expectations completely blew the end result out of the water! Thank you so much x

Nikki did the alterations to my wedding dress. She listened to my worries about the dress and suggested the suitable alterations! I was much happier with the overall shape of the dress once several layers of netting were removed and the neckline was slightly altered. I would recommend to any brides-to-be!

Nicola was very helpful when we went to purchase my daughters prom dress. We were allowed plenty of time and tried on multiple dresses. There was no pressure to purchase one. The alterations were all done in house extremely quickly. Dress was lovely, though the school prom was cancelled. I would definitely recommend Fairytale Occasions.
