As a student, AB is expensive. But it was worth every penny spent. I found an amazing Soviet military greatcoat that fit extremely well apart from my sleeves and the length. So I looked for a tailor. The stakes were high - a vintage soviet wool coat dating from the 1980s in an amazing condition. I didn't want to destroy such an amazing piece with a bad tailor job, so I went for AB.
Elena is an amazing tailor and truly an expert. She advised me the proper length on a greatcoat, and I asked if it should be shorter. She suggested not to change the length, so I trusted her expertise. Best decision

With a very limited time and on the recommendation of my friend, I contacted this Alterations Boutique Manchester. I got my new ski pants altered within just 2 hours. The price was very genuine and I will definitely return with more alternation jobs in the future.

AB are great tailors. They altered 5 suits for me and each suit was altered to perfection. The tailor explained everything very well during the fitting and made sure I was happy with his pinning. Great result.

One of my favourite places for alterations in London. I found this place online when I was looking for a seamstress to work on my wedding dress and I have been using AB ever since. I’ve never been disappointed with their work. Always warm and friendly service.

Friendly service and quick turnaround. My Coat needed a new lining so I came here after searching around on the internet. They showed me a selection of linings and after a week my coat was ready to collect.
