Ladies’ Alterations & Tailoring 

dress alterations

 

 

 

 

Do well-fitted clothes make a difference?

Undoubtedly, yes; it is a choice to look and feel good. Professional alterations can make a distinctive difference, and modifications such as reshaping a waistline, restyling a neckline, or shortening a hem are not only visible but tangible.
 
D&A perpetuates the tradition of seamstresses holding extensive knowledge of all types of alterations, especially in altering more elaborate garments, dresses and gowns with bodices, boning, and corsets. The team has been fitting garments to perfection for decades and alters all garments, including day, cocktail, evening and bridal wear.
 

Design & Alter Service

D&A offers a high-quality alteration service, maintaining the finish, style, and proportions to preserve the integrity of the original, important for designer and high-quality garments. Quality control ensures high-standard alterations and tailoring, epitomised by our team’s delicate attention to detail.
 
High-fashion brands like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Hermes are among the team’s clients, reinforcing the experience and expertise D&A dressmakers have in couture and high-end fashion garments.

 

Appointments: We work by appointment, where you will be looked after by one of our fitting consultants. We will discuss the alterations required to best fit your garment. At the end of the fitting, we provide a cost estimate so you can decide whether to proceed with the alterations. We can suggest various solutions to alter your garment, some of which may help save on costs.

Please remember to bring your shoes to your appointment to ensure we get the best possible fit.

Charges: To provide a realistic price estimate, we need to see your garment, understand its construction, and know how it fits you. Alteration costs may vary, particularly for complex, constructed dresses and heavily detailed designer wear. We charge £80 per hour for alterations and fitting appointments.

If this is your first time using us, you will receive 30 minutes of free fitting time to introduce you to our outstanding tailoring quality.
