The friendly and professional ladies at Meg’s Tailoring just love winter – winter to them means beautiful ball dresses, rustling silk and jewel-coloured velvets and all the beautiful styles they can design and sew for their clients. And, if they’re not actually designing and creating, they also offer an alteration service for women to bring their ball gowns in to be re-styled.  Meg’s Tailoring are one of the very few places in Auckland offering this type of service and, in fact, were voted best alterations business in Auckland by Metro magazine, saying “Meg’s Tailoring are the consummate professionals of the alterations business”.

The experienced staff at Meg’s Tailoring are very knowledgeable, giving advice on all aspects of fitting and restyling, and are experienced in the matters of shortening, lengthening, taking in or out of any garment. They can convert an older style into something much more up-to-date, or can, for example, add long sleeves to a dress, making it more suitable for all occasions. There is virtually nothing that the professionals at Meg’s Tailoring cannot do.

Another reason the Meg’s Tailoring team love winter is all the winter brides they see at this time of the year, either aiming to get married in winter or planning their wedding for the spring, either way, their team is busy designing, creating and fitting bridal gowns as well as restyling and altering any gown that the bride might provide.  The professional team at Meg’s Tailoring are very adept at taking in or letting out bridal gowns and bridesmaids’ dresses, and can also do hand-beading and boned gowns.

Vintage wedding gowns are becoming very trendy, or perhaps you want to wear your mother’s wedding-dress. At Meg’s Tailoring their experienced seamstresses can remake and re-model any gown that is brought into them, including hemming, and it is in the capacity of alterations that they really excel. The friendly team at the Bridal Room welcome the entire bridal party and will make veils and even ties for the men, to match the bridesmaids’ dresses. They have a large range of fabrics to choose from and will even source fabric when possible. The Meg’s Tailoring team have also been called upon many times by brides and bridesmaids coming in from overseas who need their gowns altered at the last minute and, as they say, “We can sort out magic in a day and this has been done many a time by Meg’s wedding wonder-women”.
