The last garments I took in were clearly given to someone inexperienced, With all due resect I could have done a better job, stitching was all over the place, I even overheard the owner downstairs say it looked awful. Long story short owner offered to only give me half the money back and They were unable to re-correct the damage done as she had well and truly BOTCHED the job, thus £180 worth of garments down the drain (taken to the charity shop). ADVICE: Don't pay them upfront (like I did) and try and request the owner to do your job as she is extremely neat and talented. - her workers let her

Marilyn at We Make and Mend made my wedding dress and I could not have been more pleased with the way it turned out. It was perfect. The photographer even said it was the most beautiful and unique wedding dress he had ever seen. I can't thank Marilyn enough for all her work on it, and I cannot recommend We Make and Mend highly enough. Thank you so much for everything!

After trailing around the shops in Birmingham, it became apparent that shopping for a suitable yet stylish outfit for a Christening was not going to be an easy task with such short time frame as I had to get to work that afternoon.
Too small, too big, not smart enough, the list goes on! It was coming to the end of the day and I needed to buy an outfit. I opted for a skirt suit, the skirt fitted perfectly but the jacket didn't look as fitted as it could.
Thanks to the central location, I was able to go straight in, get measured and leave my outdfit to be resized.
They did a great job and
