MadeTwenty years of fitting other people's designs taught us exactly how a dress should sit. Now we make them from the first measurement: designed with you, cut to you, fitted on you, finished by hand.

A beautiful, spotless shop, run by Bas and Ilona themselves. Come in during opening hours, or book a time that suits you.

We pin the garment on you, talk you through what will work and quote a transparent price for the job.

Our tailors and seamstresses bring over 25 years' experience, in leather, fur, lace, wool and velvet.

Try it on, we check every detail. If anything isn't right, we put it right at no extra cost.

“Had a wedding guest dress altered and I am so happy with the result. The place is run by a couple who are both extremely helpful.”

“They are both so nice and treat you like family.”Our story
HomeFew London alteration houses will come to your door. We do. Bas or Ilona bring everything needed to measure and pin, take the work back to the atelier, and return it to you finished.
Every appointment is two hours, in the atelier or at your home, so nothing is ever rushed. Pick a day and a slot, then tell us what you're bringing.

What happens when you bring us a garment, step by step.
Clients describe the shop on the New King's Road as beautiful, spotless and fragrant. It is also where the work happens: every garment is assessed, pinned, sewn and pressed under one roof, by people who have spent more than twenty-five years at the bench.
We work for some of London's best-known high-end retailers and fashion designers, and we bring exactly the same care to the jacket you've owned for a decade.

Call, email, book online or simply walk in during opening hours. Tell us about the garment and, if there is one, the date you need it for. For larger jobs and wedding parties we'll suggest an appointment, in the atelier or at your home.

You try the garment on and we pin it on you. We'll tell you honestly what will work and what won't, and quote a transparent price that reflects the job — clients often remark on how fair it is.

The work is done in-house by our tailors and seamstresses, whatever the material: leather, fur, lace, wool, velvet, silk. Seams are re-cut, linings replaced and hems finished by hand so the alteration disappears.

Try it on once more and we check every detail before it leaves us, pressed and ready. For home visits we bring it back to you.
Every garment is finished to a very high standard. If for any reason you're not happy with the result, get in touch and we will put it right at no extra cost.
Book a fitting
From a single button to a full wardrobe refit, finished so cleanly the work disappears. No job too small.
We alter for some of London's most famous high-end retailers and fashion designers, and for a wide circle of private clients who come to us every day. The standard is the same for both: an honest appraisal, a transparent price and a finish you can't see.
Re-styling is part of the same craft. We update dated or sentimental pieces so you can wear them again, and bring a wardrobe back to fit after weight loss.

Taken in or let out, sleeves shortened, shoulders adjusted, relined.

Waists, seats, tapering and hems with the right break for your shoes.

Bodices, straps and hems on silk, sequins and beadwork.

Sleeves, linings, buttons and full re-cuts of much-loved coats.

Specialist work on leather, fur, lace, velvet and fine wool.

Shirts fitted to you, and dated pieces re-cut to wear again.
RemadeSome pieces are worth more than a new one: a coat from a parent, a dress from a first date, a suit that's seen you through a career. We take them apart and remake them to fit you, and to look as they should today.
Every job is priced at your fitting, once we've seen the garment on you. The price reflects how much work it needs — nothing hidden, nothing added later.
Book an alterationA button, a hem, a zip. Bring it in, or send a photo on WhatsApp for a quick answer.

Gowns, suits, bridesmaids, mothers of the bride and wedding guests — fitted in the atelier or at home.
However your dress arrives — bought new, handed down, or made abroad and in need of measurements — we fit it to you over a series of unhurried appointments, with your shoes and underpinnings, until it moves exactly as you do.

Couples often bring us every outfit for the day. One house, one standard, one less thing to worry about.

Gowns taken in, hemmed, bustled and fitted to you.

Suits and morning dress fitted for every shoulder.

Dresses fitted together, so the party looks as one.

Designed with you, cut to your measurements and finished by hand on the New King's Road.
Bespoke dressmaking brings together everything we've learned in twenty years of fitting other people's designs. We start with you — the occasion, the way you move, the cloth you love — and build a dress from scratch around your measurements.
We also take measurements for made-to-measure pieces you're ordering from elsewhere, so that what arrives fits the first time.

We talk through the occasion, the silhouette and the details you have in mind, and take a full set of measurements.

Choose the fabric and finishes together: silk, lace, velvet, beading. We refine the design until it's unmistakably yours.

The dress is cut and fitted on you in stages, so every seam follows your shape.

Pressed, checked and ready to wear — a piece made once, for one person.
Made from scratch on the New King's Road, in the cloth you choose.

Gowns cut to move, in silk, velvet, sequins and beadwork.

The gown, the bridesmaids and the mother of the bride.

Shorter dresses for parties, races and weddings you're attending.

A favourite dress copied in a new cloth, or remade to fit you.

Our team of tailors and seamstresses brings over twenty-five years of experience. We work with some of London's most famous high-end retailers and fashion designers, and with a wide circle of private clients we see every day in our studio — whether they need to look their best at work or at a ball.

All garments are finished to very high standards. If for any reason you are not happy with the result, get in touch and we will rectify it at no extra cost.

Four ways to a garment that fits as if it were made for you, because it was.
Whether you bring us a sketch, a photograph, a favourite piece to copy or simply an occasion, the work starts the same way: a conversation, a full set of measurements and an honest view of what will suit you.
Every piece is cut, fitted and finished in our atelier on the New King's Road by tailors and seamstresses with over twenty-five years' experience, and checked on you before it leaves.
Made from nothing but your measurements. We draft the piece around you and fit it in stages until every seam follows your shape.
Your design, your cloth. Bring a sketch, a picture or a piece you love, and we'll make it real, adjusting the details with you as it takes shape.
Dresses made from scratch for weddings, evenings and every occasion in between, with fittings at the atelier or at home.
Ready-to-wear, tailored to you: suits, coats, dresses and shirts reshaped so they look made for you. For made-to-measure menswear, our sister house Shuber & Krol cuts suits from a paper pattern drafted for one man.
