Every alteration, from a simple hem to a full structural rebuild, is handled with the same discretion and precision as our custom builds.

What We Alter
Seven core services, from a precise hem to a complete transformation. Every one handled in our private Dallas Design District studio.
Bodice Fitting
Rebuilding structure, boning, and shaping so the bodice fits your body, not the size on the tag.
Sleeve Redesign
Adding, removing, or completely redesigning sleeves.
Train Alterations
Shortening, detaching, or reshaping trains for ceremony-to-reception versatility.
Beadwork & Lace Appliqué
Delicate hand-work matched to the original craftsmanship.
Heirloom Gown Redesign
Modernizing a mother’s or grandmother’s gown while preserving its fabric and story.
Neckline & Silhouette Changes
Reshaping necklines or full silhouette transformations.
The Couture Difference
Built for Brides Who Expect More
With 42 years in bridal couture, Margo West doesn’t just hem a dress — we understand construction from the inside out. That means every alteration carries the same structural integrity as a gown built from scratch in our studio, not a rush job squeezed between other appointments.
We work by appointment, with flexible scheduling for clients balancing demanding careers, and we alter gowns purchased anywhere — not only our own designs.
How the Alterations Process Works
A clear, unhurried process from first consultation to final pickup, built around your calendar.
1
Private Consultation & Assessment
Bring your gown in for a full fitting and a candid discussion of what you’d like changed.
2
Timeline Planning
A schedule built backward from your wedding date, and around yours.
3
Fittings
Typically 2–3 fitting appointments to refine fit as work progresses.
4
Final Fitting & Pickup
A final fitting to confirm a precise, confident fit before your day.
We recommend booking 2–3 months before your wedding date. Shorter timelines can often be accommodated depending on the scope of work. Call (972) 918-9750 to discuss your date.

“Margo completely transformed my gown. I bought a strapless dress and always dreamed of sleeves. She added the most stunning illusion lace sleeves. They looked like they came with the dress. Absolutely stunning work.”

“I went to three other seamstresses in Dallas and they all said they couldn’t do what I wanted. Margo West said yes without hesitation, and the result was beyond what I imagined. She is in a completely different league.”
