Designer and Occasion Wear
Evening gowns, silk and designer pieces, looked at before we agree a method.
Bring the evening gown or the designer piece in if you can. We look at it with you on the table before we agree how to clean it.
Beads, sequins, silk and mixed linings change the job. We will tell you what we can do, what we cannot, and how long it will take before we take the piece in. Wedding dresses are a separate service.
Is this the same as a normal dry clean?
No. Structured occasion wear waits for a look before we start, and the quote and the timescale follow that conversation rather than the usual 48-hour round.

Questions
Do you do alterations?
Yes. We take up hems, close split seams, replace buttons and zips, and take garments in or let them out, all in the same building as the cleaning. A button starts at £5.50, a standard zip at £21.50 and trouser shortening at £21.50, with 10% off when you have three things done. The full list is on the prices page.
We agree the work with you first and clean the garment afterwards, so a new hem comes back properly finished instead of pressed over the old crease. Making a garment from scratch is the one thing we do not do.
