Clothing Alterations

Hi,

My wife needs to get a couple of pairs of jeans turned up. Last time we had to do this we were charged £8 a pair by Zipyard... which is criminal. Does anyone know of somewhere we could get it done well, but cheaply? We're in East Belfast.

Thanks,

Steve.

    the little shop at the back of Smithfield market in city centre turns jeans up for a fiver, I used them a couple of weeks ago and they were great. They may actually be able to do them while you wait too! Can't remember what it's called sorry.

    You couold try Rite Fit on Beersbridge Rd (just up from the petrol station). I don't know how much they'd charge but they did an excellent repair on a very tricky tear in a silk dress for me and didn't charge the earth
