How We Work
Friendly Consultation
When you drop by, we’ll check the garment, talk through what needs doing and give you a clear quote.
Skilled Team
Our team uses professional techniques for both sturdy repairs and delicate alterations, treating every piece with care.
Pressed and Ready to Wear
Once complete, we press and prepare your clothes so they’re ready to wear straight away.
Preparing Your Clothes

Before Drop Off
Please bring the garment as it is. If you know which part feels uncomfortable or does not sit quite right, let us know. Even a quick note such as “sleeves feel long when I bend my arm” or “waist feels loose after walking” helps us make the right adjustment.
What to Tell Us
Specific requests lead to the best results. For example, “shorten these trousers so they sit just above flat shoes” or “loosen the waist slightly for comfort when seated.” Sharing these details means the alteration will match both your look and your lifestyle.
When You Collect
We encourage you to try the garment on before leaving. This gives you the chance to check the fit in front of a mirror and confirm that it feels comfortable. Many of our customers in Notting Hill and Ladbroke Grove find this step reassuring.
