The prices are high, ranging from double figures up to whopping three figures - you shouldn't come here unless your expecting to pay the price that corresponds with the bespoke quality items and service. They also do alternative bridal gowns for those who want more of an unconventional dress for their big day and it's all bespoke so you receive meticulous made to measure service. It all seems to be styled on the looks of yesteryear, think an amalgamation of Betty Page and Marilyn Monroe, creating a sexy and sophisticated look for women who want to strut their stuff.

My poor wedding dress has already received a beating and will continue too... After the wedding…read morewedding (the actual day of the ceremony) which was boiling hot with intense sunshine all day and an outing at our wedding festival (probably the hottest day of the year), the dress definitely needed a clean before outing number 3 (a wedding garden party as run by my mother). Now, I don't look at labels when I buy clothes. It doesn't matter whether it's hand wash, dry clean or delicate; it all goes in the washing machine. A) Dry cleaning a whole bunch of clothes is expensive and B) I don't tend to buy pricey items (so don't mind if they don't last as long as they should). However, I had to make an exception for my wedding dress. I had spotted Emma S's review of Elite dry cleaning before and she had told me how they had done a magnificent job of getting a coffee stain out of a beige suit; so I figured it would be a good bet. Add that to the fact that it's just around the corner from us and convenience + recommendation = a winner. We hadn't realised that it's cash only initially, so that's a top tip for you! A dress costs £10 to dry clean and Dan got his suit done at the same time. They were perfectly helpful when we first went in (although we think they misheard our request for opening hours and we went back when it was closed) and the place was clean and tidy. Just what you want from someone taking care of treasured items. Dan took the items back to Elite when they were open and received the obligatory tickets. Everything was done in a couple of days and the collection process was just as easy as the drop off - swift and efficient. My dress is now clean, fresh and steamed; ready to come out and party again. I don't think Elite is the cheapest dry cleaner in town, but there isn't many places I would trust to look after my wedding outfit.

The service is good and if there is an issue, the manager is just over the road and comes over to help out. I've also taken in full duvet sets which cost £7 to get cleaned and ironed (4 pillowcases, 1 sheet and 1 duvet cover). A two piece suit is £9.50 which is reasonable. They are also able to do a quick turnaround so that's handy if you need something quickly. They also do other things like zip replacements (£6), which can be useful.

After trailing around the shops in Birmingham, it became apparent that shopping for a suitable yet stylish outfit for a Godmother to be was not going to be an easy task with such short notice. Too small, too big, not smart enough, the list goes on! It was coming to the end of the day and we needed to buy an outfit. We opted for a skirt suit, the skirt fitted perfectly but the jacket didn't look as fitted as it could. We found Karlus' website online and made an appointment. He was really helpful and made my mum feel at ease. His attention to detail was perfect and my mum looked great on the photos. We have a wedding coming up and will definitely be using him again in the future.

He s recently moved to a swanky new studio on Vyse st above a jewellery shop. I usually make a trip with some random vintage dress I've bought that doesn't fit or occasionally with my favourite pieces that are now too big for me ( I've been shrinking a bit recently). Karlus listens intently to what I need and always delivers the dress improvements to deadline, sometimes staying late so I can pop in on my way home from work. He tailored a beautiful vintage suit that my other half found in a vintage barn and it now fits him perfectly...not bad for £30 charge. I couldn't recommend him enough and he ll be tailoring the other halves wedding suit and my mum s dress for our summer wedding!

This little shop never fails to disappoint with its window displays - they always make an effort…read more It is a fairly traditional alteration shop and they don't mess around - if they don't think something will work, they'll tell you. I've made enquiries here on a couple occasions about getting dresses altered and sleeves shortened. It has always surprised me that such alterations aren't exactly cheap. I guess having a Mom gifted in sewing has spoilt me somewhat! They clearly know what they are doing and I'm sure that they do a brilliant job. The shop feels a bit like a throw back to days when people made do and mended - with an old sewing machine permanently on display. I guess you can't scrimp when it comes to craftsmanship.

My eternal quest for shoe dye continues... I thought a launderettes would be an ideal place for…read morefinding shoe dye, but sadly not. I popped in here primarily to ask about whether they had any in stock - which they didn't. Obviously this was disappointing, but it gave me a chance to look round. They're doing a good job here - washing, ironing, repairs, alterations - even free advice, it seems. As I went in, the lady at the counter was giving a lot of helpful advice to a gentleman who was very concerned about a silk shirt of his. It seems that he hadn't even used their services, but was just after some advice, which was happily given. They also imparted lots of advice to me as to where to pick up shoe dye, and, along the theme of general helpful information, have sort of local noticeboard in their shop, which I thought was a nice, civic-minded touch. If I have any further clothing-related needs, I shall visit Ulverlie Washe again. They know their stuff.

It was a spur of the moment kind of visit in which we rapidly spotted it and immediately pulled up outside all raring to get these curtains washed. Inside were obviously lots of machines as you would expect and the lady that worked there asked us if we needed anything else doing to the curtains, ie. If they needed ironing afterwards or adjusting. We respectfully declined as we could iron them ourselves, but thanked her anyway. It was really lovely of her to ask and to be honest we did not expect her to be so helpful and accommodating as we were only washing some curtains. Anyway, the machines were great and did the job, we did not want to tumble dry them and so left afterwards. It is a handy place to know about!

Their service is exemplary - I regularly visit and I can't fault it. They seem to be naturals at creating instant rapport with customers and they are incredibly meticulous, skilled tailors. They have an enormous range of suits, and although on appearance the shop may appear a little dated, they accommodate your every need and will provide you with something that looks as fresh as fashion's latest daisies. I have insulted them on a few occasions by bringing some odd sewing jobs on various items of mine and they still provide their excellent service and repair them to their former glory. I hold Ammi's in the highest esteem and would recommend them to anyone who wants the finest, bespoke suit or wishes their garments to be tailored to perfection.
