Difficult job done right first time.I'm best man for a wedding in Ireland, and the groom is getting the suits made in UK. I needed to supply measurements and didn't know where to start. Tried 3 local tailors who all said they wouldn't do it.I rang Cathy and she said to come over. She stayed back so I could come after work too. Cathy carefully took measurements and recorded in inches as well to make sure they got it right. We added diagrams and photos too.The suit was made on London and sent over to me. I nervously put it on and BOOM it fit perfectly!Nevertheless I went back to Cathy with the suit as I wanted her opinion and we both agreed no further alterations were needed.Awesome service, flawless ability, would highly recommend.

Cathy from Specialised Alterations has far exceeded our expectations in terms of the service she provides. We needed our wedding dress altered less than two weeks from the big day and Cathy did an excellent job within such a short time frame. Her attitude and professionalism is what sets her apart from a lot of the other alteration services we visited. Highly recommend Cathy and her team.

I had to amend my wedding dress, and Cathy did fantastic work. She is very flexible regarding the amends. I trusted her experience, and my wedding dress was perfect and well fitted.

Cathy altered my wedding dress for me for my wedding a month ago. She is the most amazingly talented seamstress I have ever met! She was so kind and patient and explained every single thing that she would do to my dress and made sure I was ok with it before she did a thing. She noticed details and small fixes that my dress needed that I would have never even seen. She took the time to check every detail before she finalized it and made sure I was happy with everything. She gave me advice on what would work with the dress and what would give me the look I was after. Last minute she even made me a petticoat to go under the dress when I changed my mind about the hoop I had purchased for it originally.Cathy was an absolute pleasure to work with and made sure that I was completely happy with every detail of my dress before I left with it. I found Cathy completely by chance after I discovered another seamstress was about to cut straight through my hand sewn lace hem to shorten my dress. I brought my dress to Cathy so shaken by what might have happened to my dress, but within 5 mins of talking to her, I had complete faith in her abilities. I couldn't be happier with the results, my dress fit perfectly and looked stunning on my big day.Cathy is an absolutely lovely lady, and a perfectionist at her craft. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any bride who is nervous about their tricky dress alterations!Thanks so much Cathy!

Cathy was very helpful and accommodating on an alteration I needed with a tight turnaround for a wedding guest outfit. Despite there being a busy workload already for her this week, she was quick, communicative and even made time to tweak some small bits to ensure it was a perfect fit. I'm so glad to have found a great local tailor and highly recommend Cathy's work!

Cathy was a pleasure to work with. She recently altered my bridesmaid dress, and my mothers dress for an upcoming wedding.
