ALTERATIONS AND REPAIRS
At Practice we’re all about getting the most out of our favourite clothes and legitimately get a buzz from helping you do the same!
We welcome walk-in fittings during our regular opening hours.
During a fitting, we’ll have a look at how each item is constructed, run through tailoring/ repair options and give you a quote for how much it will cost. For a rough guide to some common jobs see below.
HOT TIP: Please ensure that your clothes are freshly washed otherwise we may have to ask you to bring them back another time.
