Appointments & Procedures
Update August 2020
Fitting Appointments
*All fitting consultations are fully compliant with the Government’s health regulations.
D&A has reduced its consultation hours. Fitting appointments are available on Saturdays and selected weekdays, by appointment only. We try to accommodate your requests and offer fitting consultations that fit your diary. For enquiries, email reception@designandalter.com
Virtual Fitting appointments
Clothes should look and feel as if they are made for you. To explore how you can improve the fit of your garments, D&A offers free virtual fitting appointments, in which we discuss fit improvements, alterations, and provide you with an idea of costs. Appointments are available via WhatsApp, Zoom, and Skype. We sometimes ask for a virtual fitting consultation in advance of a home fitting. Get in touch to find out more!
Fitting Consultations at your home address
Some small amendments on your clothes can make a huge difference in the way you look! Do you have any beautiful garments that need some adjustment to fit them perfectly? The experienced team of D&A offers convenient fittings at your home address. Our fitting consultant visits you to discuss alterations and potential restyling of your clothes. The consultant fits your garments and also gives you information about charges. Home fittings in postcode areas in central London are currently free of charge.
Sending your Garments by Post
If you prefer, please send your garments by post or courier. We would ask you to clarify any alterations, repairs and amendments with our workroom manager in a virtual fitting appointment before sending your clothes. You can use one of London’s fantastic range of courier companies with some of them being environmentally friendly! Please email us!

The health and safety of our clients and staff is very important to us. Please help us by being alert and vigilant at all times.
If you are feeling unwell or are showing any COVID-19 symptoms, however mild, please DO NOT attend and let us know immediately.
We do not want to compromise the quality of our service, but we must stay safe and it is easy to re-schedule.
You may come accompanied by one other person, if necessary, but please avoid and notify us beforehand.
The one-on-one consultations and fittings are currently restricted to the client and consultant only.
Please wait outside our studio until we are ready and can invite you in.
