I needed my dress altered for an important occasion. Was told it would be ready in 2 weeks. It took…read morealmost 5 weeks which ment it wasnt even ready in time and when I complained about this I was spoken to very rudely she did not even say sorry. The sewing also came apart a few weeks later.

I am more than delighted with a bespoke long sleeved floral tee shirt Tamara made for me recently…read more I had the choice of some lovely designer fabrics (it was difficult to choose I have to say!) and Tamara made sure the sizing and everything was correct, she was very patient with me as I am fussy! - I have longer arms so that was catered for too ... My parcel arrived quickly and was well packaged, service second-to-none. I am so pleased with my top as it is unique and so well made. It also fits like a dream. I am hoping to get more made in the future, I would not hesitate to recommend this lovely talented lady, she is great to work with - it is like having your own personal tailor. I only wish I lived nearer her shop!

Ever wanted a suit that makes you feel like a million dollars?…read more If the answer is yes, book an apppointent at Gresham Blake. They specialise in stunning, bespoke and made to measure suits for men and women. Remember the black and white pin striped suit Heather Mills wore in the court case against a certain Beatle? That was a Gresham Blake. As well as offering individual and customised suits, their Brighton shop sells off the peg suits, shirts, silk ties, cravats and cufflinks.They also do a lovely range of silk hankies with ladies in various states of undress. I'd love a black suit with skull and cross bones in the lining but I'm not sure my budget would reach to both arms....

Gresham Blake is Brighton's most famous bespoke tailors, and for good reason: it offers a huge…read moreamount of different materials and cuts to create your perfect suit, as evidenced by the hundreds of testimonials from local and national celebrities. It's almost too pricey for the common Brightonian, but prices do start quite low, and can be even cheaper if you buy off the rack, and there are some very nice items on there as well! There's even a women's section: everything you might need from a bespoke tailors, really. The main problem here is price: these aren't prices for mortals, I feel. Still, when you enter the shop, you are treated well, even you don't hand over an American Express Gold card upon entry. However, without the necessary cash, much of what Gresham Blake offers will forever be closed to you. I wish I had the cash to get a tailor made suit here, I'd go for something really original and different (definitely some shades of pink), but that will remain a pipe-dream for some time, I feel. If you have the cash, though, you could do much worse!

AVOID AVOID AVOID. I don't normally write reviews, however I…read morehave been soo horrendously disappointed and outraged with this shop and the owner, that I felt it only right that I forewarn future customers. I took a bridesmaids dress in to be shortened to an agreed length the whole way round (just slightly off the floor when wearing a slight heel). However the dress returned to me was only the correct length at the front, before proceeding to a longer length at the back (ie, it now had a train). Upon speaking to the owner about this, she refused to take any responsibility and instead blamed myself and even the dress itself. Additionally the stitch work was poor and I could've done a better job myself! I sent the owner pictures evidencing this, however she then went on to lie further, claiming this was not her work. She refused to rectify the issue unless I pay more money, having already wasted £45!! Additionally, she would not resolve the issue by giving me a refund, again still claiming the stitch work was not hers, yet in contradiction to this, also claimed the work had been completed to the agreed specification. I was extremely disgusted by the attitude of the owner and her inability to take responsibility or sufficiently resolve the issue. I will be ensuring no friends or family ever utilise this shop, to prevent their disappointment.

Sorry Top Stitch, on customer service I would have given you a 4 or a 5, but its 2 stars I'm afraid…read morefor getting the job done (or not.....). In short I would recommend for basic alterations, but not for the more complex things i.e. bringing in the shoulders on a suit jacket This is exactly what I did last year and the lady (who was lovely and helpful) just couldn't get it right. The suit was for a wedding and Top stitch were tasked with making my jacket a snugger fit on me - waist and shoulders. The lady assured me that she does them all the time and has 20 years experience. Unfortunately she couldn't get it right, and after attending 3 times to pick it up and having to have it re-altered each time I ended up having to take it to somewhere else as I couldn't wait any longer... they said there was nothing they could do. Then just last week I got the suit out again (after wearing it just the once since it was altered) and centre seam running down the back had started to come undone - a hole I could put my finger through. As it was a straight seam and very easy to fix I took it back to Top Stitch and the lady fixed it for free. So really happy with her service.
