It's as if the designers at Bertoldi were plucked from the fashion houses of Milan. This is a lovely little tailors that offers exceptional one to one service. They can asses exactly what you would like done with an old item of clothing and revitalise it, making it beautiful, current or simply wearable again. The skills they posses are sadly fading away on the high street. These are real Italian tailors who can make you a bespoke, stunning item of clothing. As well as handling all manner of every day alterations (like the fly on my jeans that just won't stay shut). The designers here are real craftsmen, and as soon as you step into their shop it's just a joy to watch them work away. These are the kinds of skills that people just don't have anymore. Talk to Barbara (the manager) about what you need, she is an amazing designer and always happy to help.

I am delighted with some alterations recently done by this team of taylors. The work is of a very high standard, was done on time for collection and cost exactly the price that was quoted and was excellent value for money, but that is not all: There is a considerable level of understated skill going on at the shop, from pleasantly greeting customer, listening, advising and being clear about what is best for you and your garments. Barbara and her team are superb professionals. I'm really happy to have found them. read more

Superb tailors. The personal service is both exceptional and friendly and the tailoring is stunning. I've had repairs and alterations made to various items of clothing and have always been delighted with the results. Excellent quality for extremely reasonable prices. Very highly recommended. read more

Just got back from dropping off my second alteration to Bertoldi. The first was a mini dress from Spell and the Gypsy collective (high end Australian brand) - I am VERY precious with my Spell and could not have been happier with the alterations. They were able to invisibly remove the elasticated waist and turn an unwearable dress (the elastic hit at just the wrong place) into a 3 look statement piece. I can now wear this as a blouse tucked in, a tunic layered over jeans or with the matching maxi skirt which turns it into a maxi gown. Very professional and my new go to place for alterations. read more

This definately is as good as it gets in the dress repair world. The craftsmen at Bertoldi are Italian designers and they really know their stuff. What i love about this shop is that there is no pretence. As soon as you step in, the carpet is nowhere to be seen-hidden beneath piles of cloth, fabric and discarded clothing. Appearance is infeior to service, and what a service they provide! One-on-one consultation with the best advice around! read more

Thank you Barbara! I entered Bertoldi in a very sorry state, having collected my badly fitting and poorly altered mother of the groom outfit from a "dressmaker" that had been recommended to me. Barbara sensed my upset and soon put me at ease with great empathy. She could see the problems and I could tell that she would be able to fix it. Despite only having two weeks before the wedding and the alteration involving some very fiddly lace and beading, Barbara set to and saved the day! She even gave me useful advice on choice of accessories. I'm so grateful for the great service and for squeezing me in during my hour of need. I'm so glad I found Bertoldi! I will use them again and recommend them to anyone else needing alterations undertaken. read more

I bought a little suede dress from a website I love for several events this summer. However, this shop runs big and even after exchanging it for a smaller size, it was still far to big for me, so I decided to get it tailored to fit, because I absolutely loved it. I had seen some positive reviews for Bertoldi so decided to give them a try, and they were absolutely fab. I ended up coming back twice to try it on as there was so much work that needed to be done on the dress, just to make sure I was happy with all the adjustments- and right now it's like it was made just for me. Everyone there is so professional, positive, and willing/easy to discuss the options surrounding your material. I highly recommend Bertoldi if you're looking to get something altered- big or small. This is a lovely little business. read more

Like ther reviewers say this tailors is superb. They are extremely helpful in how an item should fit and the best way to alter it. They are also very happy team which makes going in there a real pleasure. I have taken many items there and now have a wadrobe that holds clothes that fit properly! read more

I have been going to Bertoldi for many years and have absolute trust in their skills, and their advice. Treasured items of clothing have been restored, and reworked, meaning that I have been able to keep the things I love. The turnaround is efficient, the atmosphere friendly, and the service is excellent. From turning up jeans, to redesigning 20-year old dresses, to relining a suede jacket - there is nothing that can't be done by Barbara and her brilliant and professional team. Thank you. read more

I can't recommend Bertoldi more highly. Barbara tailored my wedding dress for me and has done a fantastic job. It is vintage 1950s and didn't even zip up when I first brought it in, but over several months and multiple fittings she has transformed it into a perfectly fitting garment that looks like it was made for me. She was extremely patient and accommodating and understood exactly what I wanted. Brilliant! read more

As if the designers at Bertoldi were plucked from a Zoo. A bunch of trained monekys would have a better understanding of clothes and tailoring with results far better than the "Tailors" at Bertoldi. The Jacket I took to them was almost unrecognisable by the time it had been butchered by the alledged "qualified pattern cutter and fashion designer" Barbara Bertoldi. read more

Barbara was fantastic- I was worried about having any alterations to my silk wedding dress but she immediately knew what it needed and put me instantly at ease. I was totally delighted with the finished item and would definitely use this lovely local tailors again. Thank you! read more
