 This page will hopefully answer some of the questions that you may have...!! Q - How much do you charge? A - I have compiled a price list as a guideline for you.  APPOINTMENTS:  A - Monday to Saturday, 10-4pm. Last appointment is half an hour before closing. Closed - Friday & Sunday Q - Can I stop by without scheduling an appointment? A - ALL VISITS ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY! Please call me in advance to make these arrangements. Q - Do you do home visits? A - No. Q - Do you do evening/weekend appointments? A - I prefer NOT to do evening/Sunday appointments (I have to have a cut-off point somewhere), however, under very special circumstances I may be able to accommodate you. Q - How much time do you need before I can see you? A - This really does depend upon my workload & both of our schedules. Please Note: For members of a wedding party, I require a minimum of at least 4-6 weeks notice before the ceremony is due to take place, thus giving me ample time to complete the work. FITTINGS:  Q - How much time should I plan for a 'Fitting'? A - Basic alterations, such as hemming, usually only take 10-15 mins per garment.Therefore the more garments you have, the longer it will take. Brides please allow up to an hour for your initial 'fitting', especially if you are having complex/multiple alterations on your wedding dress. Any further follow-up fittings can last approx 30 mins. Q - What do I need to bring for my bridal/formal wear fitting? A - The garment(s) requiring alterations + shoes that will be worn with the garment (or ones with the correct height) + foundation wear - hoops, slips, bras, long-line shapers, etc. Q - How many 'fittings' will I need? A - Normally it is a minimum of 2 = your initial fitting + a final fit. However, if further adjustments are required then additional fittings will be necessary. Please Note: Only ONE person is allowed to attend the appointment due to the Covid-19 regulations for Keeping Safe...  MISC.: Q - Do you do beading/embellishments? A - Yes.  Q - What is the time frame for your service? A - This depends upon my workload & sewing schedule. Simple alterations & mending I can normally complete within a fortnight. Bridal & formal wear typically needs approx 6 weeks or longer. Always allow ample time to avoid the stress of any unforeseen delays (i.e. ordering & receiving of specialist materials). Q - Do you work with leather/suede? A - No, it would be better to find a specialist on these materials. Q - Do you offer an emergency/rush service? A - Yes, if you are in dire need & my sewing time allows. However, if you require this service within 2 days then an additional surcharge of 25% of your final fee WILL be added. |
