Haven't been to either so this isn't from any experience but there is a notice on the door of the tailor at little Spinney's saying they won't be doing alterations temporarily....not sure how long that will be for. Haven't been to the other one off 47th Street but they had some adverts in the Hypersun magazine saying they were doing a re-opening in June so am guessing that they are going through some kind of refurb, keep meaning to walk over and have a look but figured I'd wait till I came back from summer hols. Sorry probably not a lot of help ;)

hope they havent stopped doing alterations too! If they have you may have some luck with the dry cleaners inside small spinneys, they fixed some stuff for me before and have their own tailor, lol

there is a shop on the right hand side just before you go in to small spinneys, it does simple alterations also, I am not actually sure if its a tailor or a laundry shop but its blacked out ladies only. I have been in there asking about them altering things before and they do it for sure. bummer about the 47street one :( edit to add, yes, small spinneys is the one next to EBN edited by Purple on 14/06/2011 <em>edited by Purple on 14/06/2011</em>

Sorry hun, don't think my brain is in gear, What is the small spinneys one?? I only know Uptown and market Spinneys next to Emirates British nursery. Was there a tailor actually in there? I just know there's one at the back of that complex on 47th street. Will let u know as need two dresses altering in the next couple of weeks.

TJC, if you go, please let me know if they will do it for you. I'd hate to have to find a new one :(

fairly recent, I thought it was the one in small spinneys who no longer did alterations, sorry I didnt read the thread properly - just posted. If they wont do it there then perhaps try the small spinneys one? I am gutted if the ladies on 47 street stopped, they were good and I have some dressed to modify :( Someone in an old thread mentioned a tailor on the other side somewhere (lifco side) but cant remember where.

There is a place in that complex on 47 street (the one taht has the vets and medcare doctors), right at the back. They have seamstresses there and make stunning arabic style party and wedding dresses, anyway, the ladies there are very good and did some alterations for me :)

Oh no, what a bummer. I was gonna use there myself in the next few days. I want 2 maxi dresses shortened. One is a bridesmaids dress so I don't want to risk doing it myself...
