Alterations Services And Prices
Deciding to move my business to my home studio has meant that my prices do not need to change to take into account the recent inflation. Since I started in 2012 the prices have barely changed, the prices represent the time needed to perform the alteration, the cost I incur and the level of difficulty of the job. People who have been my customers for the last 10 years would confirm that my sewing business has never been so much about the money but mostly for my desire to serve the community with my skills, while creating and maintaining lasting relationships.

Fantastico! I picked up a black tie suit second hand from the treacherous waters of eBay. To say it fit me like a sack of potatoes would be an understatement. It was long, wide and generally lacking in any sort of shape.
Alma welcomed me for a fitting and she transformed me from a budget James Bond to the real deal.
When i collected the suit it was nearly perfect, but needed one final fix and Alma happily made that adjustment no questions asked.
A fantastic service from start to finish. Alma, you're doing great work! Keep it up!
Best,
Nick

I had to make some alterations on my 'Maid of Honour' dress, for my sisters wedding. Alma was professional throughout, from the time it took, her customer service and her quality of work. Her communication was brilliant all the way through and she is a lovely person! If you require alterations, she will not disappoint! Thanks again Alma! X
Alma is amazing. She is so talented and friendly and did a beautiful job on my dress. She did my flowers too which were beautiful. I can not praise this lovely lady enough. She is a genius. Thank you thank you for doing such a fantastic job xx

Do you remember the film ‘Chocolat’ starring the French actress Juliette Binoche? Well Alma, in my opinion, is the Brighton equivalent but weaving her magic with thread instead of chocolate. The whole experience was wonderful. I took in a fantastic DKNY Velvet jacket that I hadn’t worn for 10 years as it was too big for me. I explained exactly what alterations I wanted, but Alma had a brilliant sixth sense and smiled as she knew exactly what could be done. 2 weeks later I collected the jacket and it is simply perfect. This is a tiny shop filled with magic. I will be recommending it to everyone I know. Thank you Alma!’

I’ve recently had my wedding dress altered by Alma and she’s done an amazing job. It was a really difficult dress to alter and it had to be taken in by several sizes but Alma is a perfectionist and didn’t give up even when we thought it wasn’t do-able! She’s also the sweetest person.

I bought a Vera Wang on a charity shop that needed adjustment on the sides. At first I was apprehensive to leave it for repair, but when I got it back it was perfect! Alma did a great job and it was definitely worth it.
Also, I was not sure if I wanted to have the skirt adjusted, but she fixed the side first and scheduled another appointment for me to decide on the skirt. I felt it was great to have the option to go there again and decide on skirt length. Then she told me the length was perfect and it did not need adjustment. It was a great experience!

Alma provides an extremely good service. I’ve used her to amend an expensive jacket and to do a minor job on another pair of trousers. She and her staff are professional, friendly and reliable. I fully recommend them. Andy

Brilliant Service, reasonably priced and very friendly. Had a few bridesmaid dresses and daily workwear altered here and every time everything was great. Now they also offer a delivery option if you can't collect which benefitted me greatly the other day. I would recommend this shop to anyone needing a professional service.
I will keep coming back to Alma's Alterations as long as my clothes need adjusting and mending. Alma is quick efficient and reasonable with her prices. If I keep loosing weight, there will be more work to do. I have Parkinsons so threading as needle is a challenge too far....Thank you Alma

This is my go to place for alterations. A great team and excellent service. Their work for me, from sizing trousers to altering jackets, to mending has all been of a very high standard. Thank you very much for opening your shop. I have more items so see you soon 🤗

Alma worked her magic to alter my wedding dress to fit over my growing baby bump. It was a couple years ago but I’m only just now getting around to posting a review. I was so happy with her work and she did it so close to my wedding just to make sure it fit my bump. Still makes me smile thinking back to the experience.
FANTASTIC service. I came in last minute to have some trousers altered for a wedding the next day. It was only an hour or so until they closed but they agreed to help with no fuss (even though they were busy) and sent me a text when the job was done.
Really friendly ladies who were a good laugh in a busy environment. Really happy with the job they did as well.
Highly recommended! :)
