• Lining repairs are available via our vintage division and for the brands we partner with. We mend rips, patch holes, part reline or fully reline dependent on the damage.

  • Zip repairs and replacements are one of the most commonly requested repairs. We also offer elastic and shirring replacement, and work to fasteners, including changing to or from zips, poppers and hooks and eyes.

  • Our vintage division has extensive experience in reworking pieces to alter out permanent and irrepairable damage, or to change the style to make an item more wearable. Repair works like these are more substantial, but contact us to discuss what is possible with your vintage piece, or as an extra service on brands we partner with.

  • Seams and rips take many forms and at Splendid Stitches we go behind the damage to ensure the area is reinforced as well as repaired.

  • Never underestimate the power of the perfect hem length, tailored to you. At Splendid Stitches we can help with both taking up and letting down, using different techniques and approaches.

  • We alter necklines to make them more comfortable and flattering, or can change the shape completely. We can also add or remove trims to flatter the original.

  • Torn waistbands can be mended or replaced altogether and Splendid Stitches offers a range of repair options for waistbands. From more structured repairs to replacement with bias or elastic, we assess the best solution according to the style of wasitband, nature of the damage and final desired fit.

  • When functionality is the prime concern, a decorative patch, or matching patch is a great repair solution. If the hole or rip is in an inconspicuous place a patch offers future proofing and strengthening.

  • Our button repairs go far beyond just sewing a button back on, and includes buttonholes, loops and backing buttons. We can also strengthen the fabric the button is attached to, ensuring your clothes work even harder for longer.
