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.

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.

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...

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.
