What we can help with
Blazers and jackets
Discuss sleeve length, body fit, shoulder changes and lining repairs. We check the uniform design before recommending structural alterations.
Trousers and shorts
Shorten hems, adjust waist fit or taper legs. For growing children, tell us if you want to retain spare fabric where practical.
Dresses and skirts
Change length, straps or waist fit, keeping any school or workplace requirements in mind. Bring those requirements to the fitting.
Repairs, badges and details
Ask about buttons, zips, split seams and sewing on supplied badges or patches. Discuss embroidery requirements with the shop before bringing a batch of uniforms.
How much does it cost?
Garment type, lining, pleats, repairs and the number of items affect the quote. We assess bulk requests individually.
We assess the item and explain the price before you leave it with us. If you are comparing options, bring the garment in for a quote based on the actual work required.
Your questions
Can you leave room for growth?
Tell us at the fitting. Where the garment allows, we can discuss retaining fabric rather than cutting it away.
Can you sew on a school badge?
Bring the badge and any placement instructions so we can assess the attachment and position.
How long will the work take?
Timing depends on the item, work involved and current workload. Tell us your deadline when you enquire; the shop will confirm availability and any express surcharge before you proceed.
