Hi Danni and the rest of the team I just wanted to say thank you so much for the beautiful job you did on my wedding dress. Obviously this is a very important dress (the most important, in fact!) and the alterations you made were so perfect. I was so comfortable and happy in the dress on the day and I cant thank you enough! The wedding was in January in South Africa on a wine farm and then we had a little day after shoot on the beach so I got to get back into my dress :) Danni as promised, here are a few photos :)

I had a job interview the following week and needed my out of shape and out of size suit turned into something wearable. I was going for my first major job and so didn't have a significant budget and would have struggled to afford a dramatic improvement. Raul and his tailors went all out to accommodate me and went out of their way to provide me with a phenomenal transformation for an unbelievable price.
The service, skill level and finish was top class and provided me with a suit which I'd be proud to wear anywhere. I truly couldn't recommend Alterations Boutique enough after the superb way I (and my suit) was dealt with. Oh, and I got the job.

My wedding dress needed alterations (widening at the back and making it a bit smaller at the top at the front). They have done a wonderful job. It now fits fabulous and I am very happy, looking forward to the big day.
