Formerly Sew & Tell Alterations, now Cherub Bridal.

What we alter

Every alteration is pinned on you, then cut and sewn by hand in the studio. Bring the gown, and the shoes you'll wear with it.

Wedding dresses

Hems, bustles, taking in and fitting the bodice, so the gown moves with you on the day.

Designed, cut and sewn in one little studio.

Elise Webster is a couturière. She drafts, drapes and hand-finishes gowns from scratch, with steel-boned corsetry and thousands of pins. The same hands do your hem.

For good brides, with bad intention.
