I was a bit nervous at first as I have never had any garnets altered in the past, but as I loved the dresses (just not the length) I really wanted to wear them. Not only did Janet make me feel welcome in her home, but she also listened to exactly what I wanted whilst also advising me on what was best for the garments. Her knowledge and passion for her job made me feel very comfortable with using her services and will also be the reason why I return. Janet was also really complementary of my clothes which made my day! The dresses turned out perfect! Thank you Janet! .

Janet shortened a pair of jeans for me and they are now absolutely perfect. Lovely lady, very courteous and efficient and a job well done at a very reasonable cost.
Response : Thank you so much for your generous comments.

Thankyou for the great service in puting a zip in my dogs coat. I could not find one which was easy to put on my dog untill yourselves designed me one to suit him. So much easier to put on and take off. Thank you Tracey.
Response : This was the first time doing an alteration to a dog coat, but i did enjoy the challenge.

Janet is simply amazing. Over the years I have used her on multiple occasions and always for something very tricky, such as satin dress that I wanted the sleeves removing from and neck remodelling - perfect job. Or the curtains where I needed an extra half curtain added to each side due to wide windows - again fantastic job. More recently I asked Janet to take in some padded coats. She did an outstanding job and you can't even see where the work was carried out and lining also beautifully altered. All that and a lovely person to deal with too. Highly recommended.

I had a dress that I wanted making in to a skirt as I liked the material and pattern. Janet did a lovely job and altered a pair of Jean's first my husband. The quality of work was great and would highly recommend.
Daniela Caselli

I needed to have some lovely new curtains (lined, pencil pleated) shortened. Janet did a beautiful job (down to re-stitching back the original label in its place! ) Her prices were clear, the work was done by the time we agreed, and everything was conducted in a friendly and professional manner. I would highly recommend her! DC.

Just had a skirt altered by Janet and the result now is a perfect fit so for the first time it is wearable. Thanks Janet.

I had a pair of silk trousers altered at the waist so that they fit but still fall beautifully. The stitching is impeccable. I also had the hems of my velvet trousers hand stitched. Really pleased.

Janet made several repairs on a vintage winter coat for me a few months ago and I was so happy with it I brought her a few more garments for summer. She took the waist in of a skirt that was far too big for me, mended a split seam in a dress, and fixed up a pocket on a light jacket. Even though we couldn’t do fittings because of covid, the skirt now fits me perfectly. I’d definitely recommend her work!

Janet restored my beloved winter jacket where some seams had come apart and did so in super-quick time. Friendly and efficient - will definitely use again!

Gave Janet several pairs of trousers for a mix of alterations and repair. Really pleased with the excellent results. She did a brilliant job and at a very reasonable price.
Alison Turner

Janet did an invisible repair on a pair of trousers damaged in a fall, as well as replacing a zip on another pair. She did a fantastic job, very quickly and efficiently. Highly recommended - we'll certainly use her services again. .

I had a jacket sleeves shortened, Janet did a great job, highly recommended.
Mrs Sarah Worthing...
Manchester
A lovely job was made of cutting off and replacing a pocket on my husband's cargo shorts, with double-thickness fabric. The lady also altered some too-tight elasticated short sleeves on a ladies top and the fit is now much more comfortable. The only reason I didn't give five stars for service was that it would have been useful to have had a a quick text to say when clothes were ready for collection. I'd recommend this lady.

Janet altered my wedding dress for me and the result was simply stunning it fit me like an absolute glove and the quality of her work is unquestionable. Janet was so helpful working around my crazy schedule, a true professional. I can not thank her enough. The value for money was brilliant, thank you thank you thank you !

Janet was welcoming and is very professional and talented she did a great job of assessing my wedding dress and after a good evaluation she did the bustle for my dress. She is efficient and works to a high standard my dress was ready very soon after. I am very happy with Janet's service and would highly recommend her.
