You have to be careful where you take you clothes for alterations, having worked in retail part…read moretime for years I had heard my fair share of bad experiences with these places, especially the chain alteration places. So after doing some research I discovered Wendy and Tom are trusted to alter clothing for designers, that I thought would be good enough for my $500 pants. These pants were made out of textured fabric and needed taking in on both sides, the legs made skinnier, so it was quite a bit of work. I was so impressed with Wendy and Tom. I went in, put them on, they pinned to how I described I wanted them to be and then when I picked them up in a weeks time, they were done, exactly how I wanted them. Couldn't ask for better than that and I have sent my parents there for alterations too and they were also impressed by the service, great people. Next time you need clothes altered, come here, they do a better job than the others.

This used to be my go to alterations place but it went downhill in my opinion the last few times I…read morevisited and I have now found somewhere else. I find it very expensive, which if fine if you get the perfect end result as you are trusting them with your clothing, but sometimes I didn't get the perfect end result. The last item I got altered here was a pair of pants and they came back too short. This was gutting because they then had to let the hem out to make them a bit longer and they just didn't look right after, not too mention it meant I was without the pants for longer than initially expected. I'm sure the bad experiences I had here aren't regular occurrences as I have had some excellent alterations here, but the bad ones I did have were enough to cause me to look for somewhere else and to be honest I am glad I did as I love my new place.

I called and was informed they included everything but would keep and eye out. No Call whatsoever, after 3 weeks I called and of course they found them. No apologies, I just went in, they handed them over, and good bye. To make matters worse, they didn't even do the work on the pocket that was part of the $460. Seriously - avoid this place like the plague, unresponsive, zero customer service, and poor work (if they even do it)

But the main benefit of choosing her is that she will tell you honestly if any alterations suit you or not and suggests other ideas. We always come up with a compromise. She is my Trinny and Susannah! Believe me, this factor alone saves me money as I will then wear my outfits instead of bypassing them in my wardrobe as previously happened. PS She is an agent for drycleaning too so it's so convenient.

After buying a ball grown for my 7th form ball I had to do just this. I took my dress down to Mairangi Bay to have the straps tightened slightly and my hem lifted. I shimmied into the dress behind the thick curtain of the dressing room and I slipped into my 5-inch heels. Walking like Bambi, I emerged from the dressing room to take my place in front of the mirror and show the lovely seamstress what I needed adjusted. She agreed with me that my straps needed to be lifted but said she personally preferred the original length of the dress and said that, with my huge heels, it did not need to be taken up. I sure wasn't going to complain, as that was to save me some extra cash! The alterations were done swiftly and immaculately. I always think it's a risk buying something beautiful only to have it hacked at so I was very pleased with the job and the professional finish. Since then I have taken in a few pairs of pants to be hemmed (yes I have ridiculously short legs) and every time I have been very happy with the outcome! Always a good job done at Seams to Sew.
