Last night a tailor saved my life, from a broken heart. Well, that is if by 'saved my life', you…read moremean 'saved me lots of hassle' and by 'a broken heart', you mean 'my girlfriend'. I had two pairs of trousers with broken zips. I had been meaning to get them fixed for a few weeks but hadn't had the opportunity. My lady was getting impatient - apparently there is a limited amount of time that she's willing to be seen with me sporting a pair of Decathlon walking trousers (but they're timeless classics!) that are slightly too short for me. Cue a visit to Smart City Tailors by me, less than two hours before their closing time. Could they help? Just one pair of trousers with a new zip would help. Rubbish sir, we'll fix both pairs. And we won't charge you extra however much you protest. Just pop back later before we close. I did, and you know the rest: last night a tailor saved my life from a broken heart. I believe they offer other services too.

These tailors must be the best tailors in the whole of Manchester. I often look at my old jeans and…read moreor old dresses and envisage a new life for them. I am used to asking multiple tailors who refuse to touch such items. These tailors are the champions of tailoring. No task is too big for them and they will do it quicker than any other tailors in town. It is also worth mentioning how cheap they are in comparison to there failing rivals. If you have some old clothes that you're considering chucking soon, think twice. Those boyfriend jeans could soon be the best skinny jeans you own. That jacket your bought over Christmas when you ate to much Christmas pud could soon fit perfectly again. Give your clothes a new lease of life and save yourself a few pounds in the process.

So, you buy a dress on eBay, and it gets to you, and it does not fit. Contrary to the photos, it is…read moreat least knee length, the sleeves are plain weiiiiird, and it is not as flattering to the girls as the girls would like. Hey, they spend all week put away in office-friendly attire, at the weekends the girls like to have their time in the spotlight. Being about as skilled with a needle and thread as I am with neurosurgery (ie- not at all; I did Literature so am not qualified to lobotomise you or anyone else, so don't ask!) I pretty much resigned Weird Dress to the back of the wardrobe. Which was a shame. Its graphic monotone Biba print called out to me every time I opened the door, and I had to remind it "no, Weird Dress, your sleeves are mad and your neckline too matronly!" Which I think upset it somewhat. It lingered there for months, until the boyf (very unfortunately) had occasion to wear a suit; a funeral. He didn't actually own a suit, so went to buy one. But the suit shop didn't have trousers long enough, so they knocked £10 off the suit and sent us to Stitches, where those of the male persuasion can have a pair of suit trews let down and finished for £10, and an hour's wait. Amazing. A couple of months later, Tea Snob Friend announced her 1960s birthday dinner party. Oooh, I thought, Oooh! So, I sent Weird Dress to be altered. One day later, and £14 lighter, I was wearing a cutesy cap-sleeved, boat-necked, mini-hemmed extraordinary dress. The clever folk at Stitches had even saved the contrast banding on the hem, and re-sewn it onto the new hem. That's what I call seamstressery (even though that's not a word...) This place is fantabulous. Whether it's a simple trou-down, or multiple alterations to your very own Weird Dress, the Stitches team will sort it out in double-quick time, and for mere pennies. Why would you go anywhere else?!
