I would give this no stars if possible. I got a bridesmaids dress altered here. I originally wanted…read morethe dress taking up, but the seamstress recommended they take it in as well. When I tried it on before the wedding the dress was completely unwearable, the leg split was in the middle of the dress revealing far too much and the strap was in the centre of the dress, which dug into my neck. The seam was unfinished and began to unravel immediately. I had to order a new dress and pay for next day delivery to have something to wear for the wedding. They also refused to give me a refund for the alteration or pay for the new dress. I would not recommend this place for any alterations, the whole experience suggests they don't know what they're doing.

Said garment thought it fun to fit me everywhere but the waist, but dangled a ass fitting carrot (maybe not the best choice of words) in front of me by having a good inch, inch and a half to play with (again with the word choice) at the back seam. To this place I ventured with a recommendation from the most glamourous Lottie Lou (of Decourcys fame) that they had an hour service. Time was certainly of the essence so I popped in, dropped off the trous and relocated to the nearest wife toting coffee shop to continue my daily chores. When the old aye phone tinkled a mere 45mins later, I never at once expected it to be a text from these guys informing me that the work had been completed and was ready for my imminent pick up. Job done apparently. Popped back. Picked up the pants. All good in the hood/waist. In short then. These guys promised a service and they delivered. Sold. I will be using you again.

Isabel's Supasew is a great little knitting and sewing store just round the corner from Patrick Bus…read moreStation. It's not a huge place but it's amazing the selection of yarn they manage to pack in. It's not full of the expensive Alpaca and cashmere blends you might find in John Lewis but it does house a staggering range of colours and textures and all at a decent price. I first discovered the place when looking for yarn to use at a Yelp arm knitting get-together organised by Lucy B. I hadn't been able to find anything I liked elsewhere but there was a great choice at Supasew. I ended up choosing a felty blue and white yarn with a leopard print. I knitted up wonderfully and was so soft and snuggly! I was also tempted into buying a gorgeous random yarn that ended up becoming a lovely hat for my friend. My most recent trip was to buy some yarn for Christmas knitting projects, I knew exactly what I wanted and was pleased that they not only had what I needed but that there were different options to choose from. A fluffy white yarn and a sparkly red are now mine and will soon be transformed into lovely Christmas themed bits and bobs. I was running in and out tonight but I spotted about 10 other yarns I want to go back and have a look at. As well as yarns the shop also stocks a good variety of knitting needles, buttons, ribbons and other haberdashery bit and bobs to help you finish your project. So if you're looking to do some knitting and crochet and don't want to break the bank then head down to Supasew soon!

Sometimes it's so difficult for me to buy clothes that fit without having to make any alterations,…read moreespecially with trousers and strapless dresses. I always have to get the trouser legs taken up and the dresses taken in. I've kind of just accepted this fact, so if something doesn't fit in the dressing room but would look the part with just a few adjustments then I usually just go for it. Suffice to say, I've taken more than a few trips to Clark's and I have never been disappointed by their work. The staff are always really helpful and chatty and the little shop is always rather bustling and it's good to see that they're so popular. Seeing as it can be quite busy you may need to wait a couple of days for your garment to be adjusted but if you need it in an emergency you can usually negotiate something with the friendly staff. I got a dress for a dance sized here once but when I went to collect it it was still ever so slightly too big, seeing as it was strapless I didn't want to take a chance and it was absolutely no problem for them to adjust it again, thanks Clark's!

I went to this alterations place with a dress that needed a few different alterations. Firstly can…read moreI say the attitude of the White haired wifey that saw us was horrible,she had the personality of a pea! I had to get straps made for for my dress and one was at least half and inch out and sat off my shoulder!! The dress required some folds to be stitched and she had made it so obvious that they were done that I had to undo them myself and a family member sorted them instead. Overall the experience was horrible and I would definitely not recommend this alterations place. It's pricey and there are other places out there that can give a better experience and outcome. Very disappointed. :(

Admittedly, I…read morecombine it with family visits but the service is good and more importantly, the price is reasonable unlike in Edinburgh. Weir's is an independent business and appears to be open pretty much Mon to Sat. Service is fast and efficient and there are sometimes deals on (4 items for £15.99). I've had bridesmaid dresses, suits, and dresses cleaned here, all been returned in perfect condition. It's a great local business and well used by locals due to the fast, efficient and reasonably priced service on offer.

What a disaster. Left my jacket to be washed. Jacket had fur attached that should be removed before…read morewashing. Billy, who I understand is the manager washed it without removing the fur and completely ruined it. When I went to pick it up, fur was all lumpy and bits were black from being burnt. I have no idea what was done to it but it looked horrible! I spoke to Billy who said to me that fur looks exactly like I've left it and I need to have a proof to show that isn't the case! What a customer service. So basically according to him, you should take a picture of every item before you leave it there. After a lot of communications he decided to make a claim on his insurance but it took about 3 weeks of constant communication and going back to the shop to resolve it. I will NEVER go there again and won't recommend it to anyone!

Really disappointed in this shop. Had a long scarf that was too long and far too wide. Asked for…read morethe scarf to be shortened and halved in breadth. Once home I discovered that the scarves length was fine and the bottom of the new length had been finished nicely BUT the width had simply been halved by cutting with scissors and the seam down the length of the scarf not finished off. Already it is starting to fray. This cost me £10 to be given back a scarf that has been spoiled. Poor show AND service was given without a smile and barely a word spoken. Will not use again.

In less than three hours the trousers were tried-on, pinned to the correct new size, professionally altered and ready to collect. I've never tried this kind of service before and was a little nervous. I needn't have worried. Stitch in Time was a revelation. Highly recommended. They do all sorts of tailoring and alterations, even make up curtains from scratch. I've added a couple of photos that list what they do and the 2016 prices.

I'm totally torn about this place, so here goes…read more I recently had to get a bridesmaid dress altered, so I wanted somewhere highly recommended to go and Sew Easy got the thumbs up from my fellow Yelpers. Since it was a bridesmaid dress, I was pretty nervous about the hands I'd trust to make the changes. While I was there, I had another floor length dress I wanted to have a small alteration made to so I popped along with both. Firstly, this place is BUSY... so try to avoid any peak times to pop in. It was a bit chaotic - they got me to try on the bridesmaid dress, pinned it to size and then took the instructions for my other dress (without trying on which I thought was strange). After quoting me a figure for them both - it was on the pricier side - I paid in cash (they don't take cards) and said to come back in a week. On my return a week later, the dress wasn't ready. So I went back the next day, where the bridesmaid dress was done (HUZZAH), but my other one hadn't even been touched and I needed it for the next night so it was too late. Although I did get a refund, I'm not sure why they gave me a dress back which clearly hadn't been altered. To their credit, the slightly complex changes to the dress they did alter were done perfectly and my dress looked great on the big day. I'm just not sure with all the hassle that I'd choose to go back again.

Definitely great service and couldn't believe how cheap it cost, would recommend this shop to anyone no matter how small the job.

DO NOT USE! I put…read moremy blush coloured dress in to have a new zip put on ahead of a wedding I was going to that weekend. I was told I could collect it the next day - Great! When I went in to collect my dress not only was the zip on my blush dress white but it was catching on the lining. The chap took the dress through the back I'm not sure what he done to the dress but there was the sound of an aerosol. I was told this was unacceptable condition to be given back to me and that I could come back and collect it once the zip had been refitted the next day. Concerned the WD40 had been sprayed on my dress I left the centre feeling very concerned over the state my dress would be returned to me. So the next day I went to collect my dress to find that the zipper was still white, that it wasn't concealed as it should be an that the white zip material was visible on the blush coloured dress, which instantly made the dress look cheap and nasty. and that the zip had not been sewn the whole way down, there was an open gap at the bottom of the zip. The zip had also been had stitched on the outside of the dress leaving ugly visible stiches. I then went to pay for the repair which so that I could get the dress back to be taken elsewhere to be surprisingly told that the cost of the repair had gone up from £9 to £15. If anything the price should have gone down for the state of the repair and for the inconvenience of it not being in a returnable state when I first went to collect it.
