Tailor/seamstress?

I need several sleeve buttons replaced on a suit - managed to close a wardrobe door on the sleeve, breaking off one button completely and damaging the other three.

Replacement buttons wouldn't need to be identical to the other sleeve, just similar, and professionally attached (I could stitch new buttons on myself but it wouldn't be pretty!).

Any recommendations where I might get this done, preferably in south/east Belfast?

    The Zip Yard in Strandtown is great for repairs and alterations.I think you might need to provide the buttons for them to sew on though
    Or....Couldnt you just save the £ and try a wee bit harder to do a "pretty" job yourself?

    'Alterations' at the bottom of the Newtownards Road....looks slightly dodgy but the ladies do good work and are cheaper than the Zip Yard.

    Zip Yard also have branches in other areas too so might find one closer than Strandtown.
