PROFESSIONAL ALTERNATIONS & REPAIRS
Handcrafted in my custom built studio
Marie Chandler Bespoke Costume and Clothing offer friendly, affordable alterations and repair services. Whether it’s a new dress you’ve bought that’s a bit too long, or an old favourite that’s acquired a hole in the pocket I can repair it.
Altering and repairing your clothes is not only great for the environment by extending the life of the garment, but store bought clothes made to ‘standard’ sizes will rarely fit perfectly, I can tailor your clothes to make you feel more comfortable and happy with how you look.
