What does alteration services in London include?
Your seamstress or tailor is skilled in working with textiles, but especially clothing, to create, repair, and alter clothing. Here are some of the most popular clothing alteration services and what you can expect when you book them:
Sewing
Need some custom sewing work to create a design from scratch or custom-fit to your size? Hire a seamstress or dressmaker to create or customise your dress or garment. They’ll start by measuring your shape and size with a soft tape measure to ensure the perfect fit. They’ll consult with you on designs and fabrics, before choosing or customising a pattern and cutting out the pieces. They’ll sew your garment or dress, taking care to finish off any edges with an overlocking stitch. Most dressmakers will request you to come in for a final fitting where you can try on the (mostly finished) garment and they can make final adjustments.
Formal wear alterations
When you want to look your best, it’s so important that your clothing is tailored to perfectly fit. Whether you need bridal alterations, school graduation alterations, corporate wear alterations, or suit alterations, a professional seamstress can help. They’ll take your exact measurements and then ask you to try on the outfit or dress, ideally with the shoes you plan to wear. Then they’ll note or mark up any parts that need taking in or loosening, and where the hem needs to sit based on your shoe height. They’ll use a mixture of machine and hand-sewing techniques to alter your clothing and finalise everything with a final fitting before your event.
Clothing adjustments
Most clothing you buy off the rack won’t be the perfect fit, or you might need your favourite clothes adjusted as your body changes shape over time. Book clothing alterations near you to help with dress shortening, garment shortening, and even school uniform alterations for those kids who won’t stop growing. Clothing adjustments usually involve taking seams in or out and adjusting the hem. Most hems have a few centimetres of extra fabric, so you can add extra length, or take it up for the perfect fit.
Clothing repairs
When your favourite dress or pants break, you don’t have to throw them away. Get a professional to take a look and see if they can save your garment with techniques like zipper repair, seam repair, new lining, hole patching, button sewing, and more. Extend the life of your clothing - it’s better for the environment and much more budget-friendly, too.

Create Coffee-Cup Holder Coats: We need 2x green parkas turned into coffee-cup carrying coats inspired by the design in the attached photo. Materials Provided: 1. 2 x green parkas (100% polyamide). 2. Wide green elastic band (75mm wide, 2 yards per coat). 3. Sewing materials (needle, thread, scissors). Let me know if you need an electric sewing machine. Instructions: 1. Arrange 3–5 elastic loops per row on the coat. Stagger the rows evenly across the front and mark placements before sewing. 2. Cut the elastic into pieces to fit snugly around a coffee cup. Seal the ends (use a lighter or heat sealer if needed to prevent fraying). 3. Sew each elastic loop securely at the top and bottom, ensuring it holds the cups firmly. 4. Check all loops to ensure they’re secure and trim any excess thread for a clean finish. Estimated Time for Machine sewing: ~2 hours per coat. Let me know if you need extra materials or clarification!

Hi there! I hope you are well. I would like a custom dress like the attached photos for references. Please note: I would like the bottom of dress to be shaped more like a normal straight dress rather than an A-Line, so less fabric on the skirt. l would also like the hem to the feet only, and chest cup area adjusted to a more closed style for modesty- this could be done by the neck fabric starting from the bottom of both cups instead of just one maybe? I would also like the leg slit lower like just from the knee downwards
