If you want clothes that fit
I specialise in altering garments to fit.
The most common alterations that my clients bring me are hems and sleeves to be shortened and loose garments that require taking in, either in specific places or to make them a smaller size. For wedding dresses, I am frequently asked to 'bustle' the train to make the dress easier to manage after the ceremony.
A few garments that are too tight have large enough seam allowances that can be let out a small amount. Others can sometimes be altered by adding panels of matching fabric, or by converting the zip closure to lacing.
Other
alterations I have take on include replacing coat linings, and remodelling
old garments.
