If your attempts at sewing have left you with plucked, punctured and bleeding fingers, you might be better off admitting defeat and finding yourself an experienced seamstress. An independent designer, Sarah Alexander offers everything from simple alterations to lovely, customised wedding, occasion, maxi and evening dresses. She also sells her own creations within her work space — so if you see something you like hanging up, it’s probably for sale.

Sarah Alexander is an independent designer clothing company located inside Grand Central on Renshaw Street. It’s so, so hard to find independent clothing companies and reliable seamstresses these days in a world dominated by Ebay, Primark, Asda, etc, so I’m always fascinated to find successful little clothing stores/seamstresses that are making their way in the world despite the competition. You’ll find this shop in the upstairs of Grand Central. The busy hum of a sewing machine will welcome you, and the surrounding racks of finished and in-progress garments will speak for themselves of their maker’s skill and attention to detail. If you love designer, made-to-measure clothing and one of a kind additions to your wardrobe, you’ll definitely want to check out Sarah Alexander. You can also have alterations done here.
