Alterations are a core part of the Yours Only business; altering a garment to make it fit a client, to me, is gratifying and a job well done. So many ladies find garments are too long or fit in one area and not another. Altering the garment to make it fit makes all the difference to how it feels and how it looks.
How It All Began...
Whilst in the 5th form at school, our year were taken around several businesses to give us all an idea about different places of work and types of jobs. One of theses places was Beatties in Solihull. Because I showed an interest in sewing and their workroom, I was offered a position there and then as a trainee alteration hand and fitter. Having given it some thought, I decide to take the position and started there in September 1967.
I was a junior to a lady called Violet, who taught me so much; she had been doing the job for years and had once been a junior like me.
Fantastic service, brilliant pricing, beautiful work every time!
Fantastic service, brilliant pricing, beautiful work every time!! Report Review I have been using Yours Only for 13 years since Margaret made my high school prom dress, which was a completely beautiful creation! I have been returning year after year for all my clothing alteration needs and every time I feel completely happy leaving my garments with Margaret knowing that she will do a first class job regardless how big or small the task! Yours Only offers an incredibly professional and high quality service. Value for money is fabulous and I would never go anywhere else for my clothing alterations or should I need a garment designing and making from scratch.
Review on wedding dress
Margaret made me my wedding dress and I wanted something special as it was not my first marriage. I went with an idea but after consultation Margaret advised me to change it as the dress would not have flattered my rather buxom size. I wanted a bling wedding so we decided on a silver and black lace dress. It was perfect everybody said that it was gorgeous. I felt a million dollars in it and it certainly went with the whole bling scene. Thank you so much Margaret I will certainly come back to you when I need that something special and would certainly recommend you.
I was getting married in Las
I was getting married in Las Vegas so didn't want a traditional wedding dress as such, i had a strong idea of what dress i wanted and Margaret had literally thousands of patterns, she found one very close to my idea. I live in London and she always made time and managed to see me for my fittings when I was in the midlands. She also guided me through the different materials and colours available as I was completely clueless. Everyone commented on how lovely my dress was and the whole experience was completely stress free. thank you.
