SKILFULL ALTERATION SERVICE
Finding The Perfect Fit
If you have something in your wardrobe you love or have bought something new that doesn’t quite fit perfectly, getting it expertly altered is a sensible option in many situations.
Often clothes bought off the rack don't fit perfectly. Alterations help adjust garments for a more tailored and flattering fit, enhancing comfort and appearance.
Perhaps you have a favourite or high-quality garment (like suits, dresses, or jackets) that you want to repair or to update the fit, ensuring the garment remains wearable for years.
After weight loss or gain, you may want to have a special garment altered to ensure it fits perfectly allowing you to continue wearing pieces you love without needing to buy an entirely new wardrobe.
You may have bought an item of clothing off the rack and need it modified to reflect your personal style, such as shortening a hemline, adding or removing sleeves, or adjusting details like necklines.
We offer a full range of alteration services including everything from your basic hems, zips to suit alterations, and beyond. No job is too big or small. With our wide expertise we will customise your garment to your specific requirements. We also offer a same day service for those urgent jobs.
