A great demonstration of how suit jackets are constructed and why some alterations just aren't possible once the garment is made - as she puts it, You can't take the eggs out of the baked cake 😁

Help a small business run a little more smoothly

First of all can I just say sorry if I’m taking a few days to respond to messages but they are coming in thick and fast, and with the best will in the world, I can’t manage to fit everyone in.

Secondly, if I have offered you a slot please could you confirm or decline, or let me know if another day/time would work better for you (excluding weekends) so that I can offer the slot to someone else if you don’t need it.

Thank you
Diane

Hi Diane,

Just wanted to say a big thank you for doing our alterations. They are all perfect. The black dress that you took the frill from looks even better than I imagined and it's lovely! I will definitely get lots of use out of it now (or when we can go out again). It has the slight kick at the bottom which really flatters the legs.

I hope you are successful keeping your head above water in these difficult times and, from a purely selfish point of view, I hope you don't completely give up dress alterations as you have a real talent for it. However, I can see why you are considering this - let's hope it isn't too long before we can get back to 'normal' whatever form that might be in the future.

Good luck in whatever you do next Diane. Stay safe.
