Silk chiffons and georgettes are lightweight, luxurious, delicate... but a nightmare if they accidentally rip. Never fear though, once repaired you can continue to dance the night away!

This tulle bolero was not going to withstand a March wedding, but add a silk lining and long sleeves and it is good to go!

Another strapless dress saved from impracticality with the additions of a strap and a removable sequined belt

Mini-alteration: When one of the buckles fell off my shoe and was lost, I removed the other one and replaced them with a pair of old clip-on earrings.

One of my favourite “extreme alterations” was taking this silk dress which had been made when Megan was 18 and turning it into a dress fit for a highland ball. We switched out the bold blue contrast bands for a softer grey-blue and changed up the neckline, using a vintage portrait of HM the Queen as inspiration.

From strapless hazard to a dress ready for dancing in!
