Seamz to Sew

Seamz To Sew is my local alteration spot. Just down the road from my house it would be my first call if I were to dash out to have something altered. After buying a ball grown for my 7^th form ball I had to do just this. I took my dress down to Mairangi Bay to have the straps tightened slightly and my hem lifted. I shimmied into the dress behind the thick curtain of the dressing room and I slipped into my 5-​inch heels. Walking like Bambi, I emerged from the dressing room to take my place in front of the mirror and show the lovely seamstress what I needed adjusted. She agreed with me that my straps needed to be lifted but said she personally preferred the original length of the dress and said that, with my huge heels, it did not need to be taken up. I sure wasn’t going to complain, as that was to save me some extra cash! The alterations were done swiftly and immaculately. I always think it’s a risk buying something beautiful only to have it hacked at so I was very pleased with the job and the professional finish. Since then I have taken in a few pairs of pants to be hemmed (yes I have ridiculously short legs) and every time I have been very happy with the outcome! Always a good job done at Seams to Sew.
