Alterations & Repair
The perfect fit is our guarantee.
We offer full-service alterations for all sorts of clothes and materials, old or new — giving your clothes the instantly recognisable elegance that only comes from a garment properly fitted to your body.
We assess every alteration on the customer, to make sure the finish is right before it leaves the shop. We're alteration specialists, and can work on suits, jackets, coats, dresses, trousers, skirts and waistcoats. Why trust a local dry cleaner with your alterations, when you can bring them to tailors who focus on altering garments, exclusively?
