Sometimes it's so difficult for me to buy clothes that fit without having to make any alterations, especially with trousers and strapless dresses. I always have to get the trouser legs taken up and the dresses taken in. I've kind of just accepted this fact, so if something doesn't fit in the dressing room but would look the part with just a few adjustments then I usually just go for it.
Suffice to say, I've taken more than a few trips to Clark's and I have never been disappointed by their work. The staff are always really helpful and chatty and the little shop is always rather bustling and it's good to see that they're so popular. Seeing as it can be quite busy you may need to wait a couple of days for your garment to be adjusted but if you need it in an emergency you can usually negotiate something with the friendly staff.
I got a dress for a dance sized here once but when I went to collect it it was still ever so slightly too big, seeing as it was strapless I didn't want to take a chance and it was absolutely no problem for them to adjust it again, thanks Clark's! read more
