I used this company to alter a bridesmaids dress very last minute before a wedding as I gave birth 2 weeks before. They hemmed the bottom and put 2 zips in so I could breastfeed and it worked amazingly. They also did it in just a few days which was great as I wouldn't have been able to fit into it any earlier.

Good service, although I had a pair of trousers shortened here and each side are now different lengths! The quality of the stitching is poor too. l wouldnt recommend

I have had 2 pairs of trousers (one lined) shortened and a full length, lined evening dress shortened and "lifted" at the shoulders. I think the fabric was tricky to work with but the ladies at Alter have done a fantastic job at a reasonable price. I would not hesitate to recommend. Thank you.

Fantastic service and quality workmanship. Two of our bridesmaid dresses needed altering a week before the wedding and could not find anywhere to help until I rang this friendly lady. Within 3 days of contacting my dresses were back home, altered perfectly at a great price. I was particularly impressed with the stitching on the chiffon dress hem, extremely neat and professional. Will definitely be my go to shop for future work.

Highly recommended. Lovely friendly staff who know what they are doing. Used twice now, to take up a long lace dress for a ball and to make the seems lie flat, that stuck out on the hips of a skirt. They also advised the skirt would look better to taper all the way down to make it narrower at the bottom and they were spot on. I recommend to all my friends.
