They explained what the costs would be which were fair and reasonable and they sent me a handy sms to let me know it was finished. When I came to collect I was really happy with the coat.

These tailors must be the best tailors in the whole of Manchester. I often look at my old jeans and…read moreor old dresses and envisage a new life for them. I am used to asking multiple tailors who refuse to touch such items. These tailors are the champions of tailoring. No task is too big for them and they will do it quicker than any other tailors in town. It is also worth mentioning how cheap they are in comparison to there failing rivals. If you have some old clothes that you're considering chucking soon, think twice. Those boyfriend jeans could soon be the best skinny jeans you own. That jacket your bought over Christmas when you ate to much Christmas pud could soon fit perfectly again. Give your clothes a new lease of life and save yourself a few pounds in the process.

So, you buy a dress on eBay, and it gets to you, and it does not fit. Contrary to the photos, it is…read moreat least knee length, the sleeves are plain weiiiiird, and it is not as flattering to the girls as the girls would like. Hey, they spend all week put away in office-friendly attire, at the weekends the girls like to have their time in the spotlight. Being about as skilled with a needle and thread as I am with neurosurgery (ie- not at all; I did Literature so am not qualified to lobotomise you or anyone else, so don't ask!) I pretty much resigned Weird Dress to the back of the wardrobe. Which was a shame. Its graphic monotone Biba print called out to me every time I opened the door, and I had to remind it "no, Weird Dress, your sleeves are mad and your neckline too matronly!" Which I think upset it somewhat. It lingered there for months, until the boyf (very unfortunately) had occasion to wear a suit; a funeral. He didn't actually own a suit, so went to buy one. But the suit shop didn't have trousers long enough, so they knocked £10 off the suit and sent us to Stitches, where those of the male persuasion can have a pair of suit trews let down and finished for £10, and an hour's wait. Amazing. A couple of months later, Tea Snob Friend announced her 1960s birthday dinner party. Oooh, I thought, Oooh! So, I sent Weird Dress to be altered. One day later, and £14 lighter, I was wearing a cutesy cap-sleeved, boat-necked, mini-hemmed extraordinary dress. The clever folk at Stitches had even saved the contrast banding on the hem, and re-sewn it onto the new hem. That's what I call seamstressery (even though that's not a word...) This place is fantabulous. Whether it's a simple trou-down, or multiple alterations to your very own Weird Dress, the Stitches team will sort it out in double-quick time, and for mere pennies. Why would you go anywhere else?!

A perfectly positioned launderette also offering an ironing service at reasonable rates…read more You will find The Steamie on Milnrow Road in Shaw just before the Wrens Nest bus terminal. When we moved to the area we were regulars at The Steamie and sometimes we were taking 3 or 4 bags of laudry over. For those 3 or 4 bags we were charged just £10.70, admittedly we provided our own powder and softner but even so this was a very good price. Don't forget that includes drying and you are not having to sit there doing it all yourself. You can of course do it all by yourself and The Steamie has numerous washers and dryers to accomodate all. There is a drinks machine for those who are staying for any length of time. Whats more is that The Steamie also offers an ironing service and they quoted us £11 for 30 garments. Again this is most reasonable in my opinion. I have only ever seen one girl in there but she has always been nice and pleasant whenever i have spoken to her. I even think that The Steamie delivers your washing/drying/ironing!!

We've used their ironing service a couple of times…read more The first time, our ironing wasn't ready when we arrived to collect it. The next day when we collected, the shirts was ridiculously creased. The next time we used them I complained about the creased shirts previously. Only to find when we collected, two of our expensive shirts had gone missing and the rest of our shirts were still creased.

The quality of linen was first rate, the delivery has always been on the correct day within a decent time frame, and if I have ever had any kind of queries, it is the Managing Director himself that has always come out to meet with me. I've never come across a laundry service that has placed that much importance on the individual customer to be honest!! I wouldn't hesitate recommending them to anybody.

I had two pairs of trousers with broken zips. I had been meaning to get them fixed for a few weeks but hadn't had the opportunity. My lady was getting impatient - apparently there is a limited amount of time that she's willing to be seen with me sporting a pair of Decathlon walking trousers (but they're timeless classics!) that are slightly too short for me. Cue a visit to Smart City Tailors by me, less than two hours before their closing time. Could they help? Just one pair of trousers with a new zip would help. Rubbish sir, we'll fix both pairs. And we won't charge you extra however much you protest. Just pop back later before we close. I did, and you know the rest: last night a tailor saved my life from a broken heart. I believe they offer other services too.
