At Practice we’re all about getting the most out of our favourite clothes and we legitimately get a buzz from helping you do the same! Our priority is keeping your everyday clothes around longer, so we’re here for all your hems, zip repairs and waist alterations. Due to demand we’re no longer able to take on more involved projects like jacket tailoring, bridal, major formalwear alterations and creative redesigns.
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.
HOT TIP: Please ensure that your clothes are freshly washed otherwise we may have to ask you to bring them back another time.
