Clothing alteration is the best way to extend the life of your beloved garments.
Very often, some small changes can make a massive difference to make the garment fit you much better.

Hi Agnieszka, I received the dress this morning – Wow! That was fast!! The dress fits like a glove, it’s perfect! I’m so pleased and can’t wait for an occasion to wear it. You did such an amazing job of matching all the tartan – I don’t know how you did that. (…)Thanks again for all your hard work, efficiency, and friendly service.

Agnieszka came to my rescue again when I asked if she could make some padded coathangers for me. They were for a present but I had to keep some of them for myself! Beautifully made (of course), all done so quickly and great value. Thanks again for your excellent and friendly service.

Just had a double layer dress altered by Agnieszka and what a beautiful job she made of it. It was a very difficult material to work with. Very reasonably priced! Would highly recommend.

This is a message from a lovely customer. He ordered a custom tartan waistcoat and got his tartan trews altered:
” I have tested fitted everything now and it is all ”spot-on”. I am delighted by your craftsmanship, your attention to detail, and your service. I would not blink to recommend you. The wee scarf makes me smile and was a super use of the leftover fabric. Many Thanks again.”
