CREATIVITY 💡🪡💜
Is one of the key ingredients our fitters need when clients bring in garments that ask for solutions. Our client loved her beautiful velvet jacket but felt she would wear it more often if the sleeves were longer. So we extended the sleeves and continued the detailing. 👀

Designer Alterations
The crucial Attention to Detail
Why are designer clothes more expensive than non-designer clothes? Sometimes it may be hard to comprehend. Apart from paying for the brand name, there often is irrefutably a difference in quality, detail and finish; beautiful not only from the outside. Look at the lining, look at the binding!
D&A offers a high-quality alteration service that maintains the finish, style and proportions to ensure that your garment looks, feels and fits ‘designer.’ Designer Alterations
Quality Control: Before any garment leaves the Workroom, it will be quality controlled – twice – rigorously!
Alterations – Tailoring – Men’s Wear
25% Discount from 01/09-30/10/2021
D&A is well known for its excellence in formal clothes alterations. We offer designer finishes, including working buttonholes and hand-sewn finishes. To ensure designer/original detailing and proportions – perhaps buckles and buttonholes of jackets and coats – we shorten sleeves from the shoulders. Sometimes small adjustments like taking in a waistline or the tapering and shortening of trouser legs can make all the difference in sharpening your look!

Dress Re-Styling, Restoring, Preserving
‘I love Vintage!’
Sometimes it does not take much to update, renew or revamp the look and extend the life span of a garment. Lifting a waistline, readjusting the shoulders or shortening a hemline of vintage or an old favourite may just save the item from retirement. Quality clothes turn into classics and rarely run out of date. To enquire – 020 7498 4360.
Offer
*We offer a 20% discount on restyling and relining alterations to support more sustainability in fashion and to encourage wearing clothes longer.
Custom made: If your signature garment is falling apart, our made-to-measure department can replicate it in any chosen fabric and colour. Made to measure
