The tailors here use both the imperial and metric systems which work for me and they sew via measurements, not patterns, which is a dying trade; they teach the kids these days to sew by patterns so they cant do any sort of alterations on anything Vintage or expensive if you have changed body sizes or wanna re-purpose that has come back into fashion. There are two female tailors that are very friendly, they take time to find out what you want and will listen to you and work with you to make sure they know exactly what you want and to ensure you are happy with what you will get; and you wont be disappointed. They can keep the same Finish on the hems of expensive jeans if they are too long and no one will notice its not how you originally purchased it. I'm so glad I'm local to them; I've only seen this quality of work done internationally.

I've made enquiries here on a couple occasions about getting dresses altered and sleeves shortened. It has always surprised me that such alterations aren't exactly cheap. I guess having a Mom gifted in sewing has spoilt me somewhat! They clearly know what they are doing and I'm sure that they do a brilliant job. The shop feels a bit like a throw back to days when people made do and mended - with an old sewing machine permanently on display. I guess you can't scrimp when it comes to craftsmanship.

There tailoring service is very common over there (you can find one on almost every street) and its very cheap. When she moved to Birmingham with me, I think one of the first things she asked me was if there was a place she could get her clothes adjusted. I honestly could not answer, it's not the sort of service I've ever really needed before. While mooching around the Indoor Market in the city centre we found City Tailoring. Prices might not be as cheap as in Brazil, but it is still pretty cheap, certainly not as expensive as I thought it would be. To shorten legs, for example, it will cost £7. They even fix leather jackets, I thought this would be much more expensive but it only costs around £15 to shorten the arms. It's not only shortening they do, they take care of all kinds of alterations, fit new buttons and zips, reline jackets they even make curtains. It's all really cheap and the guy there is a nice fella. There is a quick turnaround and they always look busy. Looks like a good place for any basic tailoring needs!

So worth it! I'll be going back in future. Thanks John.

This is a strange little place, but it's worth popping your head around the door to have a look…read more Essentially it's a dress repair and alterations business, as the window display and name of the shop would suggest. You can see a seamstress or two working away at the back of the shop. I've never had a dress altered there since I don't own or wear dresses, but what makes this shop interesting to visit is that recently it has started doubling up as an self-titled 'Indoor Car Boot Sale'. There is a baffling array of bric-a-brac, toys, books and clothes for sale that make it look like the store room of a charity shop. You'll need to dig amongst the organised chaos to find anything, but it's a nice place to go hunting for an oddity. My son likes to mooch about in here and often finds a small toy or some other thing that he likes the look of, and these can be picked up for a few pence.

However, on closer inspection of this Raddlebarn road business there is far more than meets the eye.

If you look hard enough there's always something pleasing and the novelty of the whole experience makes a visit to the dress shop quite unforgettable. There can't be too many stores around doubling up in this manner so for that reason alone this place is worth a look.

FINALLY finding something that I love, and it breaks. I was in this conundrum before Swingamjig festival. I have a fabulous 1950's swing dress (which I have worn to death), but sometime last year the zip just disintegrated. Now, it was a fairly old and very well loved dress, so it's not a surprise - but I was devastated. But what to do? I have used a couple of places in the City before but found them to be very expensive for something as simple as fixing a zip. I remembered a recommendation from Joanne D. (she got her bag fixed by these guys) and took my beloved dress down to Piccadilly arcade. The tailor's is on the top end of the Arcade (closer to New Street than Stephenson Street) and has clear signage. It looks like a bit of a jumble sale inside (with garments everywhere and a sewing machine on the counter), but this is probably a sign of their popularity in the City. I popped in around 11am to see what the damage would be for the dress. I was greeted with a warm smile and welcomed in to the store. I handed the offending garment over to them and they had a brief look. I was offered a replacement zip service for £8 (which really isn't bad) and told it would be ready the next day (in time for the festival). Feeling very relieved, I paid in advance and left it there. I actually couldn't get back the next day (busy times), but popped in the day after to collect. You honestly wouldn't know it had been fixed! They managed to pop in a very strong replacement "hidden" zip which is even better than the original one! The staff seem to really know what they are doing, service is friendly, prices are very reasonable (I remember Jo saying they fixed a zip on her bag for £3) and I was very pleased with the work they had done. If you have a garment in need of a bit of TLC, you could do far worse than popping into Top Tailors and seeing what they can do.
