Loving the Zip Yard! These ladies have come to my rescue many many times and kudos to them for it…read more The Zip Yard is run as a franchise business and the Belmont Road branch is really good. Take them any kind of alteration and they'll have it done in a day or two and done really well. They can do pretty much anything and will take your garments from you either already pinned or will take you into the chainging room and pin you into your dress or whatever to make sure that the measurements are exactly right. I had a formal dress altered in this way and it turned out perfect - fitted exactly and the stitching was billiant. They have also done a small job for me free of charge which I thought was fab. Ladies of the Zip Yard, I salute you.

I found the Belmont Road Zip Yard by recommendation of another sewing company, Ritefit, who…read morecouldn't do the repair by the time I needed it but were kind enough to suggest the Zip Yard instead. I'd already been told about the merits of the Zip Yard by another friend so the company should congratulate themselves on how well they are going down with all and sundry, mostly women who need this sort of service. All I can do here is join the chorus of previous recommendations. The job I required was new zip to be put into a skirt that I'd bought with a broken one for £3.00 in a New Look sale. True to their word, the Zip Yard had the skirt ready for me on the day they said they would. It cost £7.00, so I ended up getting a nice skirt for £10.00 in the end. Good result.

I would not recommend this shop to anyone . I left a party dress for shortening, was never given a…read morequotation or a ticket. That was silly from my side but as a wedding shop in Lisburn road recommended me this place I trusted the woman who attended me. At that time I also ask for ironing, a normal service already included in any party dress that needed alteration but I just wanted to make sure. After a month of not hearing anything I called the shop and gave my details. The same woman was confident that she did gave me a ticket and she did sent me a SMS. I did not want to argue, I just wanted my beloved dress. Then I noticed that it was badly ironed, probably it was never ironed .....I did raise this point and this woman insinuated actually that it was my fault saying that it's been hanging a month. Anyway,I left but still quite unhappy in the way I was treated. She charged me 20£ with no hesitation and of course never an apology. So I returned and expressed my concerns. I said if you do that job in any other professional place it's a 24 h job and the dress would be perfectly ironed. I said thank you and tried to leave, and this woman grabbed my arm and explained in a non amicable way her reasons. It was not an ironing provider, my dress was not ironed from the beginning. That is why I asked her when I left the dress. ......And surprisingly she did not object. Lastly she told me that she spent 3 hours on my dress and she had to pay the rent of the shop etc......Surreal, I thought, if I was a business woman I would treat my clients well so they can bring me more. Not exactly the opposite. But now she has 20 £ which were undeserved and I was upset, her loss. I'll find a better place somewhere in belfast.
