Alterations (Easy tweaks, perfect fit)

We design our dresses to fit beautifully straight out of the box,  but bodies aren’t one-size-fits-all, so a tiny tweak is sometimes all it takes to get that perfect fit.

Our full-length dresses and jumpsuits are made slightly longer on purpose (approx. 115cm waist to hem), so your tailor can hem them to your height. It’s standard in occasionwear and means your dress will skim the floor just right on the day.

We don’t offer in-house alterations, but we’ve got brilliant go-to options:

London-based?
We recommend our lovely neighbours One Off London,  they know Rewritten dresses inside out.

Anywhere in the UK?
Sojo connects you with trusted local tailors and offers door-to-door collection and delivery. Easy, modern, done.

Already have a tailor you love?
Our dresses are super straightforward to alter. Just ask for a hem and bring the shoes you’ll wear on the day. For bust or waist tweaks, we recommend sizing up and taking in for the most flattering fit.

Once your dress is altered, we can’t accept returns or exchanges.
