Don't take our word for it - listen to what some of our many satisfied customers have to say.
You can’t tell they’ve been altered

Thank you Zippy Stitch for the expert way you took in my father’s suits. Now his illness is progressing, his clothes were hanging off him, but to have a well fitting suit again has given him back some pride in his appearance.
Violetta saved the day!

I just have to write to thank you for stepping in at the last moment and adjusting my daughter’s wedding dress. With the alterations you made the dress fitted like a glove and she felt so confident walking down the aisle. I would highly recommend you to anyone wanting a dress fitting – what you do is magic!
Ballroom Dress

Many thanks to Violeta for altering my ballroom dress, shortening the skirts in time for my dance competition. The dress moved beautifully on the floor. I’m delighted, thank you!
