About the workroom
Who we are, who will pin your garment, and what customers say about the result.
One small workroom, every kind of fitting
We started with one sewing machine and a rail of trousers waiting for hems. Today a small team handles everything from a dropped hem to a wedding party, and every garment is fitted on the person who will wear it.
- Pinned on you, not measured on a hanger
- A price agreed before we cut anything
- Thread and zips matched to the garment
- Pressed and ready to wear when you collect it
Our tailors
The person who pins your garment is the person who alters it.

Wedding and formalwear
Plans the bridal fittings and is very calm about bustles the week before a wedding.

What customers say
Sample reviews.
“I bought a suit off the rack for my brother’s wedding. After two fittings it looked as if it had been made for me.”
Sample customer
Suit alterations
“They took up my wedding dress, added a bustle and had it pressed and hung the day before. One less thing to think about.”
Sample customer
Wedding dress
“My grandfather’s wool coat has a new lining and every button back on. I wear it every winter.”

Coat repair
Just a hem? Drop in.
No appointment needed for hems and small repairs, Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00 to 16:00. Bring the garment and the shoes you will wear with it, and we pin it while you wait.
Bring it in and try it on
Book a fitting for a wedding, a made-to-measure suit or anything that needs more than a hem. We pin it on you and tell you the price and the ready date before you leave.
