      Amazing staff and amazing work. Took my suit pants up for my wedding and also darted in my shirt. Both alterations were faultless and one of the amazing staff members even washed my white shirt for me!! Immaculate. Thanks again

      Brilliant service. Needed a dress brought up and made slightly bigger. Ladies were both brilliant, eased my worries massively.

      These ladies did an absolutely amazing job with my wedding dress! I found this Victorian dress at a charity shop and had a vision to modernize it. I couldn't be happier with the results! Thank you!
