Your Questions Answered by a Professional

Q: What makes fashion-trained alterations different?
A: Fashion education provides understanding of how garments are constructed from design concept through final construction. This means I can see alteration possibilities that others might miss and approach changes in ways that honor the designer's original intent whilst creating perfect fit for your body.

Q: How far in advance should I book alterations?
A: For standard alterations, 2-3 weeks is typical. Special occasions like prom or weddings should be planned 6-8 weeks in advance. Rush services are available for urgent needs.

Q: Do you work with all price ranges of clothing?
A: Absolutely. Whether you've invested £50 or £500 in a garment, professional alterations can enhance fit and extend wear. My expertise applies the same technical precision regardless of the garment's original price point.

Q: What should I bring to my consultation?
A: Bring the garment needing alteration, shoes you plan to wear with it, and any specific requirements or inspiration photos. This helps ensure we create exactly what you envision.

Q: Can you work with online purchases that don't fit?
A: Yes, this is increasingly common. Online shopping often requires professional alterations to achieve proper fit. I can assess what's possible and advise on the best approach for your specific piece.
