If you don’t require a fitting and give me a measurement instead please note I will work to the measurement you provide. However a fitting does make for a more reliable outcome.

This is a general repairs appointment, bring as many or as little items for repair as you have and time allowed means we can go through them. 

Please bear in mind the turnaround time can vary due to workload. Please note zip repairs may need extra time as I may need to order a zip.

Tapering from £15
Sleeve adjustment from £15

For alterations please ensure you bring the correct items with you for your fitting. For trousers please bring a pair of shoes that you’ll typically wear with them. Same applies for floor length dresses and where applicable certain underwear may need to be worn for fitting in the case of any side seam and torso alterations.

2 items 15% off
3 items 20% off
4 or more 25% off

Standard turnaround is 4-5 working days. 
Appointment can include a brief fitting (5 minutes approximately) or if you have already pinned/marked the alterations it can just be a drop off. Please note items that are pinned/marked by yourself and dropped off are done so at your own risk, this simply means please be very careful when measuring what alterations are needed as I am not responsible if they are incorrect once completed. For peace of mind a quick fitting may be better.
Please state when booking how many items you have and I can confirm total price at the appointment. Thank you Becca
