Your fit, my full attention.
One client at a time. Alterations, hemming and bridal, prom and bridesmaid fittings. Bring the dress or the suit; Sue pins it on you, so it fits the way you stand, not the way the rack guessed.

Bridal & wedding dresses
Bodice taken in or let out, hem to your shoes, bustle for the reception, straps, cups and closures. Plan two to three fittings, the last one two weeks out.
- Bustle
- Hem with train
- Bodice
- Straps & cups
- Steaming before pickup
Prom, bridesmaid & formal
Hems, side seams, straps shortened, sequins and lace reworked so the alteration disappears. Prom fills up fast: book as soon as the dress arrives.
- Hem
- Take in sides
- Shorten straps
- Sequin & lace work
Suits, jackets & trousers
Sleeves and trouser length, waist and seat, jacket sides and shoulders. Off-the-rack becomes made-to-measure in one or two visits.
- Sleeve length
- Trouser hem & taper
- Waist & seat
- Jacket sides
Everyday alterations
Jeans with the original hem kept, zippers replaced, coats relined, dresses resized after a change. The repairs that make your favorite things wearable again.
- Original-hem jeans
- Zippers
- Relining
- Resizing
- Patches & repairs
Plan your fitting around the date
Pick the event and the day. The timeline shows when to bring the piece in, when to come back, and when it's ready, so the week of the event is calm.
Price guide
Alterations are priced by the work, not the garment's price tag. Sue quotes in the shop once she sees the fabric and the fit. These are the common jobs people ask about.
Owner's note for this preview: swap "quote in shop" for real starting prices if you'd like them shown. Many customers decide to call once they see a number.

Good to know
Do I need an appointment?
Call or text first for bridal and formal fittings so Sue can set aside the time. Everyday alterations can usually be dropped off during open hours.
What should I bring to a fitting?
The shoes you'll wear with it, the undergarments or shapewear you plan on, and the garment itself, pressed if you can. For suits, the shirt you'll wear underneath.
How many fittings does a wedding dress take?
Usually two to three. The first marks the big changes, the second checks them, and a final fitting about two weeks before the wedding confirms the hem and bustle.
Can you work with sequins, lace and beading?
Yes. Beaded and sequined hems and seams take longer because the work is moved and re-sewn by hand, so allow extra time and ask about it when you book.
What about rush jobs?
Ask. It depends on what's already on the rail that week. The earlier you call, the better the odds.
