Alterations
The fit of your clothing is all important and well worth the investment so that you'll want to wear your clothes again and again. I can carry out all sorts of alterations for you, from shortening (and, yes, on occasion, lengthening), fitting the garment, through to adaptations and embellishment. From daywear to evening, jeans to prom and weddings.
For information about what to expect at your fittings please see the bridal fittings or prom alterations page.
See below for some of the work I've carried out on my customers' clothes: click to scroll through the 'before and after' images.
Bridal
At your wedding dress fitting I'll review the fit from the shoulder straps down to the hem. Alterations may be carried out across a number of sessions to make sure you're completely happy with the changes.
Dress makeover
Adding pizzazz to a plain evening gown.
As well as taking in to fit, the inside of the skirt has been lined, a contrast waistband and pockets added and a fabulous huge flower!

Bridesmaids
Too big, too small, too long, shoulders, hems, bows...
flick through these images to see some of the bridesmaid dresses I've worked on.
Prom
Book early for your prom appointment. We may need a couple of fitting sessions, working first with any bodice & shoulder alterations, then adjusting the length. The fullness (up to 9 metres round) and number of layers can make these alterations time consuming.
Costume work
As well as altering the fit of the garment I added lots of gold details. What a difference a bit of bling makes.
Trouser alteration and bow tie
A matching bow tie with offcuts from these shortened trousers. Christmas party, here we come!
Replacement linings
I can do replacement linings in coats or, as in this case, replacement back panels for ripped waistcoats.
Repair
Whoops a daisy. A very classy jacket with a rip in it can be mended.

Plain old shortening
Many of us need trousers, skirts and dresses shortened. No problem.
