I needed a dress urgently altered for an event and it had only arrived a couple of days before. I called Friday morning to see if they could fit me in so I could wear it in Saturday. It was no trouble and they squeezed me in. They did an excellent job and I'm really pleased with the result. Definitely worth a trip to the city!

For the cost of about $18 you can get your jeans hemmed. but here's the good part: you only just bought them, and in an hour you just pick them up, and you can wear them out that night. they can re-hem, or they can do it using the jeans original hem (just in case you have a design on the bottom). they also do other clothes.
