From small repairs to considered alterations, we help restore the fit, function and finish of the garments you already own.
A careful alteration or repair can restore a favourite garment, improve its fit or give it more life.
We look at the garment first, then consider what can be done without compromising its construction or character.
Adjustments to length, waist and fit for a cleaner, more comfortable finish.
Repairing or replacing worn or damaged zips where the garment allows.

Considered adjustments to improve fit, proportion and wearability.
We examine the garment, fabric, construction and the issue that needs attention.

The repair or alteration is carried out with care, keeping the garment's original construction in mind.
The finished garment is checked for fit, function and overall finish.
Repairing or altering an existing garment can be a practical way to keep well-loved pieces in use, rather than setting them aside.

Trousers, shirts, skirts, dresses and everyday garments.
Suits, jackets, blazers and formal garments.
Dresses and carefully constructed garments requiring considered attention.
Some fabrics, constructions or types of damage may limit what can be repaired or altered. We assess each garment individually and will explain what is practical before work begins.

Thoughtful repairs can help keep favourite pieces in use.
