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.
Dress for mother of the groom
I am so happy with the dress Margaret made for me for my son’s wedding. The quality of the dress is second to none and I received lots of compliments about it on the day, I felt comfortable, elegant at my best all day long.
Margaret conducts her business in such a professional yet friendly manner. I was able to attend fittings at a convenient time around my availability which was really helpful. What could have been a stressful experience, having been let down by an internet supplier, turned into an absolute pleasure.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Yours Only to anyone looking to have a quality garment made.
Beautiful Bridesmaid dresses
I approached Margaret with only a colour swatch and a photo of a bridesmaid dress that I liked and wanted to replicate for my 3 bridesmaids. Margaret was able to source the most beautiful lace, satin and chiffon which matched my colour swatch perfectly. Although I was nervous about not buying a dress off the shelf (having no idea quite how the finished dresses would look), I was absolutely over the moon with the dresses when they were completed. They surpassed my expectations and my bridesmaids looked incredible. With all my bridesmaids having to travel to Tamworth, Margaret made it so easy to squeeze them in for evening fittings which made it so stress free to arrange. I would definitely recommend Yours Only if you want a quality dress made to fit you perfectly and a lovely lady who makes the whole experience a delight!
