Your wedding dress deserves a flawless fit. Raymik Custom Tailor provides expert bridal alterations in Toronto — from simple hemming to complete gown restructuring. With nearly 30 years of experience working with delicate bridal fabrics, master tailor Roger Shaikh ensures your dress fits perfectly for your special day.
Wedding gowns are among the most complex garments to alter. Layers of tulle, delicate lace appliqués, beaded bodices, and intricate boning all require a tailor who understands bridal construction. Roger Shaikh has altered hundreds of wedding dresses across every style — from classic A-line gowns to modern fitted sheaths, ball gowns, and mermaid silhouettes.
We understand the emotional importance of your wedding dress. Every alteration is handled with care, precision, and respect for the gown's original design.
The bodice is the most critical part of wedding dress fit. We handle taking in or letting out the bodice, adjusting the bust line, reshaping the neckline, and modifying boning and corset structures. Whether your gown is strapless, halter, or sleeved, we ensure the bodice fits like it was made for you.
We hem wedding dresses to your exact height — accounting for your wedding shoes. For gowns with lace borders, layered tulle, or horsehair trim at the hem, we use specialized techniques that preserve the original design detail.
Want to add sleeves to a strapless gown? Or convert long sleeves to cap sleeves? We source matching lace and fabric, or work with detachable sleeve designs so you can have two looks — ceremony and reception.
A proper bustle lets you move, dance, and celebrate without tripping over your train. We create American bustles (over-bustles), French bustles (under-bustles), and ballroom bustles depending on your gown's style and train length.
If your strapless gown needs more security, we can add hidden internal boning, transparent straps, or decorative straps that complement the gown's design.
Repositioning lace appliqués after resizing, re-beading sections that were altered, and matching new lace for modifications — we handle the detail work that most tailors avoid.
Whether you've lost weight before your wedding or purchased a gown in the wrong size, we can resize the entire dress — bodice, waist, and skirt — while maintaining its proportions and design integrity.
We recommend the following timeline for stress-free bridal alterations:
