I remembered this shop was here from a while back, as its hidden way back of the centre. Whilst the jacket was checked in I had time for a coffee & half an hour later my jacket was ready for collection. Definitely great service and couldn't believe how cheap it cost, would recommend this shop to anyone no matter how small the job.

When I went in to collect my dress not only was the zip on my blush dress white but it was catching on the lining. The chap took the dress through the back I'm not sure what he done to the dress but there was the sound of an aerosol. I was told this was unacceptable condition to be given back to me and that I could come back and collect it once the zip had been refitted the next day. Concerned the WD40 had been sprayed on my dress I left the centre feeling very concerned over the state my dress would be returned to me. So the next day I went to collect my dress to find that the zipper was still white, that it wasn't concealed as it should be an that the white zip material was visible on the blush coloured dress, which instantly made the dress look cheap and nasty. and that the zip had not been sewn the whole way down, there was an open gap at the bottom of the zip. The zip had also been had stitched on the outside of the dress leaving ugly visible stiches. I then went to pay for the repair which so that I could get the dress back to be taken elsewhere to be surprisingly told that the cost of the repair had gone up from £9 to £15. If anything the price should have gone down for the state of the repair and for the inconvenience of it not being in a returnable state when I first went to collect it.

This is a very professional looking tailor, so I took a dress here to be altered. It's a lovely…read moredress I got in Florence. We were running for the train, but I saw this dress in the window of a shop for 15euro. I ran in, bought a size medium, and continued on for the train. It turned out that the dress was massive on me, so I went to get it altered. The alterations were pretty cheap, considering it was the whole dress, and it was ready the next day. It looks like a really popular tailor in the local area.

I'm totally torn about this place, so here goes…read more I recently had to get a bridesmaid dress altered, so I wanted somewhere highly recommended to go and Sew Easy got the thumbs up from my fellow Yelpers. Since it was a bridesmaid dress, I was pretty nervous about the hands I'd trust to make the changes. While I was there, I had another floor length dress I wanted to have a small alteration made to so I popped along with both. Firstly, this place is BUSY... so try to avoid any peak times to pop in. It was a bit chaotic - they got me to try on the bridesmaid dress, pinned it to size and then took the instructions for my other dress (without trying on which I thought was strange). After quoting me a figure for them both - it was on the pricier side - I paid in cash (they don't take cards) and said to come back in a week. On my return a week later, the dress wasn't ready. So I went back the next day, where the bridesmaid dress was done (HUZZAH), but my other one hadn't even been touched and I needed it for the next night so it was too late. Although I did get a refund, I'm not sure why they gave me a dress back which clearly hadn't been altered. To their credit, the slightly complex changes to the dress they did alter were done perfectly and my dress looked great on the big day. I'm just not sure with all the hassle that I'd choose to go back again.

Same day service costs a few pounds extra. Being a minuscule five foot two and a half inches (that extra half inch is very important) I pretty much need to get all my trousers taken up unless I got them from the "petite" otherwise known as "short arse" section of clothing stores. Since using Skint, I have become something of an tailor addict, getting dresses nipped at the back and tucked at the waist all over the place. It is amazing the difference a slight alteration can make. Bonus points for little bowl of sweets on the counter.

Hidden away on Union Street, it isn't the easiest of places to find, but it has a fantastic reputation, and the work they've done for me has always been to a great standard and a reasonable price. In terms of time they are pretty quick, and I think you can pay a little extra if you want it same day (not sure on this though!). I usually get trousers and jeans taken up, but I have had some significant alterations done to some expensive suits and they have done really good work on them. Again, I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think they might be cash only - the cost is usually under £10, so it isn't a huge deal. There are always sweeties at the till, which is a huge bonus!
