Tailoring & alterations — since 2021
Alterations, repairs and made-to-measure tailoring. Bring them to the shop, or we’ll collect from your door and bring them back finished.
Why alterations
A garment that fits properly is not a different garment — it is the same one, moved by a centimetre in the right places. Most of what comes through the shop is exactly that: a hem, a waist, a sleeve, a shoulder.
The rest is repair and made-to-measure work. Something worth keeping that needs mending, or something that has to be cut for one person from the start.
What we do
In shop or collected
Clothes you already own, made to fit properly. Length, waist, sleeves, shoulders and shape.
In shop or collected
Garments cut and made for one person, measured in the workroom and fitted before finishing.
In shop or collected
Damage put right, so a garment you like stays in use instead of being replaced.
Collected and delivered
We collect from your door, measure at home if the work needs it, and bring the finished garments back.
Work is quoted once we have seen the garment — a photograph cannot show how a seam has been made.
Collected and delivered
Alterations usually mean two trips: one to drop off, one to collect. Home service removes both.
Tell us what needs doing and roughly how many pieces. A photo helps, though we will not price from one.
We agree a time and come to you. If the work needs measuring, we measure at your door.
Your garments go into the workroom. We come back to you if anything needs a decision.
Finished and delivered to the same address.

Before and after
Open the seam to compare. Most alterations look like almost nothing side by side, and completely different on the person wearing them.
Real photographs of our work go here — see the before & after page.
In the workroom
Some of this is machine work and some of it is not. A hem on a lined skirt, an invisible mend, a seam that has to sit flat under a jacket — those are done by hand because there is no other way to do them properly.
For businesses
We take regular work from businesses whose customers need garments altered or repaired — collected and returned on a rhythm that fits your week.
Terms depend on what you send and how often. Tell us what you have in mind and we will work it out with you.
