Tailoring services
Besides selling haberdashery we carry out alterations. Most jobs are small changes that make a garment sit properly — which is usually the difference between something worn and something left in the wardrobe.
Shortening and taking in
Shortening trousers and jeans (including keeping the original hem), shortening sleeves, skirts and dresses, taking in at the waist and sides.
This is the most common job and usually the quickest to complete.
Zip replacement
Zips in trousers, jackets, dresses, skirts, bags and cushion covers. We select the zip on the spot — we keep them in the shop in many lengths and colours.
Alterations and repairs
Reworking a dress, replacing a lining, mending a tear, inserting elastic into a waistband, sewing on buttons and hooks, darning.
For more involved alterations it helps to come wearing the garment — a fitting on the spot gives the best result.
Curtains and home textiles
Shortening and hemming curtains, sewing in heading tape, altering bedding and tablecloths.
If you buy the fabric and tape from us, we can take the curtain in for finishing straight away.
Pricing and turnaround
We quote after seeing the item — it depends on the fabric, the amount of work and whether any materials are needed. Turnaround is agreed individually; simple alterations can usually be done faster.
For urgent jobs, ask in the shop whether we can speed things up.
Before you come
- Come wearing the item to be altered. A fitting on the spot is more accurate than quoted measurements.
- Bring the shoes you will wear with the trousers. Hem length depends on heel height.
- Ask about materials. If a zip or buttons are needed, we will match them in the shop.
- Mention valuable items in advance. A wedding dress or a suit needs a different approach than jeans.
