This little shop never fails to disappoint with its window displays - they always make an effort…read more It is a fairly traditional alteration shop and they don't mess around - if they don't think something will work, they'll tell you. 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.

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.
