How much will my alterations cost?
For basic alterations and repairs we have a set price list for each operation.
We’ll be able to give you a price when you come in for a fitting. The final price will depend on what needs to be done to your garment.
Do you offer a repair service?
Absolutely! From mending holes to replacing zips, we’re always happy to bring your much loved garments back to life.
Where a zip is being replaced we will provide the zip. We can even order custom size and colour match your zip if needed.
We don’t currently offer invisible mending. This is a very specialised skill. If you have a fine wool suit that needs repair we will offer you our available options for visible mending, but can of course recommend invisible mending services should you need them.
I only need a repair, can I just drop in?
We we by appointment, even for repairs. This ensures that there are no interruptions during fittings and everyone gets our undivided attention. You can book an appointment time via the booking system on the website. Book Online
Having a fitting
Why have a fitting?
No matter what garment you’re bringing in, it’s always best to have a fitting. This will ensure that the alterations are done correctly and that you’re happy with the results.
What happens during a fitting?
You’ll try on the garment and we’ll assess how it fits. We’ll use pins to mark where the alterations need to be made. This will give you a good idea of how the finished garment will look.
How long does a fitting take?
Most fittings take less than 20 minutes. However, it’s important to allow some extra time for us to chat about your desired changes.
What happens after the fitting?
We’ll give you a price for the alterations. You can then decide whether or not to proceed with the work.
We’re here to help
We want to make sure you’re happy with your alterations.
Here are some additional tips for having a successful fitting:
- Wear or bring the underwear you intend to wear under the garment.
- Remember to bring your shoes.
- Be specific about your desired changes. The more information you can give us, the better we’ll be able to tailor the alterations to your needs.
- Don’t be afraid to ask questions. We’re here to help you get the perfect fit.
