Clarks the Tailor

I went to this alterations place with a dress that needed a few different alterations. Firstly can I say the attitude of the White haired wifey that saw us was horrible, she had the personality of a pea! I had to get straps made for for my dress and one was at least half and inch out and sat off my shoulder! The dress required some folds to be stitched and she had made it so obvious that they were done that I had to undo them myself and a family member sorted them instead. Overall the experience was horrible and I would definitely not recommend this alterations place. It’s pricey and there are other places out there that can give a better experience and outcome. Very disappointed. :(

Sometimes it’s so difficult for me to buy clothes that fit without having to make any alterations, especially with trousers and strapless dresses. I always have to get the trouser legs taken up and the dresses taken in. I’ve kind of just accepted this fact, so if something doesn’t fit in the dressing room but would look the part with just a few adjustments then I usually just go for it.
Suffice to say, I’ve taken more than a few trips to Clark’s and I have never been disappointed by their work. The staff are always really helpful and chatty and the little shop is always rather bustling and it’s good to see that they’re so popular. Seeing as it can be quite busy you may need to wait a couple of days for your garment to be adjusted but if you need it in an emergency you can usually negotiate something with the friendly staff.
I got a dress for a dance sized here once but when I went to collect it it was still ever so slightly too big, seeing as it was strapless I didn’t want to take a chance and it was absolutely no problem for them to adjust it again, thanks Clark’s!
