Five of the ninety-nine Google reviews, word for word, with the reviewers’ own names.
“I had an ill-fitting chiffon dress with an asymmetrical hem and baggy sides. This was no easy job and they made it fit like a glove. Amazing! They take time to understand what you want.”
“Our Canada Goose coat was repaired so professionally that it's virtually unnoticeable, and it was very fairly priced.”
“Friendly service with helpful advice about the material and colours available. The coat was dry cleaned and altered in 1 week.”
“Quality alterations with well-matched stitching, and completed very quickly.”
“They dealt with my challenging request for tailoring on a very delicate piece of clothing with expertise, patience and understanding.”
