Also covering general clothing, curtains and soft furnishings — if it's sewn, ask.
Why brides and grooms keep sending people here
Fitted to you, not the size on the label
Two people in the same size dress rarely need the same alteration. Nikki pins and checks everything on the actual garment before it's cut or sewn.
Told straight, before it's booked in
If something can't be fixed, or the fabric won't take a repair well, you're told that upfront — not after it's too late to go elsewhere.
Ready when it's promised
Timelines are given honestly at drop-off, and held to for wedding and formal work where the date can't move.
What's covered
A general guide — send a photo and a description of what's needed for an exact price.
Trousers, dresses, skirts and curtains taken up or let down, keeping the original finish where possible.
Waists, seams and shoulders adjusted so a garment sits properly again after it's changed size on you.
Replacement zips, reattached buttons, torn seams and worn linings — the small jobs most places turn away.
Bridal, bridesmaid and formal wear fitted over one or more sessions, timed against your actual date.
Jackets, trousers and waistcoats taken in, taken up or restyled for the fit a rack size never gives you.
Work uniforms and military uniforms fitted and altered to the standard they need to meet.
Everyday hemming, taking in, letting out and repairs for anything worn day to day.
