Alterations Clapham North By APPOINTMENT ONLY open at 12 noon.

Had a lovely experience getting my dress altered here, and I was really happy with the care taken and the final results! Would definitely recommend Ellie’s services

I had my favourite blazer recently altered because it was two sizes too big. Elle was a professional with a lot of charm, care and attention to detail. She turned my blazer into a perfect slim fit piece and had it ready within the very next day. Would highly recommend her!

Absolutely thrilled with the work!! Ellie has made me look super smart!I’m delighted and grateful, I E njoyed meeting her and the incredible turnaround of her very professional work.

Horrible experience, screamed at to leave for wanting 2 minutes to check the dress when I picked it up. Visible mark on the dress that weren’t there when I dropped it off, only asked what the mark was but she just continued screaming at me to leave saying I’m not a regular customer so she doesn’t care. Was always going to pay in full just simply wanted to know what the mark was. AVOID

RUINED SUIT - AVOIDTL;DR: Elly made extensive shortcuts & mistakes in a suit adjustment: sleeves irreparably cut too short, inner lining broken and left disconnected, suit pattern left badly disjointed, new stitching coming apart. She is rude and forceful, and refuses any refund for her mistakes.I've seen this experience mirrored with many other reviews on here, DON'T COME HERE if you value your clothes!!I came here with lovely inherited suit which needed minor length adjustments to the legs and sleeves and to be narrowed at the torso. A simple job". The whole experience turned out to be horrendous.Elly was rushed taking the measurements and hurried

Great service from an amazing woman!I came to Elly with an emergency altercation needed done by the next day. Elly is very friendly and extremely professional when conducting her business, and made sure I was comfortable at all times. Not only did she fulfil on my requirements (Sleeves on my blazer were adjusted perfectly!) but she also gave me great tips and advice for fashion which I really appreciated. I’m happy that I went to Elly, and I recommend anyone looking to get their garments altered in any way to seek her services.

Avoid at all costs. Ruined a pair of expensive jeans but refused to accept responsibility. Cut the jeans way too short during shortening and attempted to attach different material to rectify. The hems are not even and there’s a very visible double stitch line and artefact. The result is just a joke. Elly accepted she had made a mistake at first during a second fitting but then tried to confuse the issue. Unpleasant overbearing bullying manner throughout. Only took cash and no receipt provided. Buyer beware!!Having seen the response to my post from the owner, I am supplying some additional information for those who may still be tempted to use her services.Firstly, it is laughable that she is suggesting I am merely pulling the jeans up and that she did not make a mistake while measuring/altering!Secondly, I collected the jeans along with a few other items that she had repaired, just before I left for the airport. I decided that to get my other items back, I would have to pay for all the repairs and then seek compensation afterwards. As the only way to contact her is by phone (she has no email or message service), I waited until I returned back in the country to contact her again. I made a very fair offer, without prejudice, of only asking for the value of the £70 repair to be returned rather than compensate me for the replacement cost of the jeans. This was to simply cut my losses. Unfortunately, this was met with confrontation and the same monologue.Thirdly, I am horrified that my visit was recorded without my permission. I understand this is someone's front room but it is also clearly being used by the public. There are no adequate changing facilities other than standing in a different area. I did not expect to be viewed by Elly while quickly trying on the jeans and certainly not recorded.
