Dressmaking, Commissions and Alterations
The better it fits, the better it looks. If you’ve dropped a hem or a few pounds, or have just never felt righting that dress or skirt that’s hiding at the back of the wardrobe, I can help.
Below is a guide to prices but please contact me for a quote. I estimate the time it is likely to take and base my prices on an hourly rate.
I also offer a dressmaking service and would be delighted to quote for your requirements. To view recent commissions click here.

IN STiTCHES 
Hi there,
I have a pair of jeans that are an inch or so too long as I am in between leg lengths. How much would it be to have these shortened?
Kindest Regards,
Megan Robinson.
