Zen was very professional and flexible working around my appointments. I was unhappy with my dress design on the first fitting after not seeing it for a few months due to the top being plain.Zen came up with the amazing idea to add bling which finished it off beautifully. It really sparkled!

User

Zen is so reliable, friendly & extremely good at her job! I canŌĆÖt recommend her highly enough. She is honest & reasonably priced. I wonŌĆÖt go to anyone else for my tailoring needs from now on!

User

Zen is just fabulous! I found her alteration service via Facebook and am so, so pleased I chose her. I'm quite body conscious and I was dreading being prodded and poked at. Zen put me at ease and made the whole process an absolute pleasure, it became a chat with a lovely lady with a bit of pinning involved. The alterations were fantastic and my dress fitted perfectly. She spotted all kinds of fitting issues that I would never have noticed and sorted out a way to adjust my train so I could move about after the ceremony. My dress looked even better after she had altered it and I felt fantastic on the day. I can not thank her enough.

User

Zen did my Wedding dress there were a lot of alterations but she wasn't faized truly brilliant talented Lady thank so much highy recommended ’┐Į’┐Į

User

Zen did an absolutely amazing job on my wedding dress. Her work is of the highest quality and she is genuinely one of the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I truly felt like a princess on my big day. Thank you so much!

User

Zen did a phenomenal job with the alterations to make my dress (and underwear) fit so perfectly for my wedding day. She is truly talented. I felt confident, beautiful and totally myself in my wedding dress thanks to it fitting so well, I just want to wear it again and again.

User

Zen did a fabulous job altering my bridesmaid dress - hard working, friendly, v. reasonable, easy to find in Sutton and offered helpful advice even down to nail polish ;) thank you so much, see you again!

This passed weekend my husband had his staff awards dinner at the Grosvenor. Since it was a black tie event I had to buy a floor length dress and of course I found mine at last minute which meant I needed last minute tailoring. I found Zenub's website and knew it would be a long shot, but I decided to try anyway ( Saturday, the dinner was Sunday!). I was so thrilled she was able to tailor my dress, she completely saved my bum! My dress came out perfectly and we had a wonderful evening. Not only did Zen do an amazing job, but she also drove me back to the station! Lovely lady and a fabulous tailor.her work is incredible. Anyone who needs a tailor in or around the area and doesn't use Zen, is a fool! I will definitely be coming back; thank you Zen!

User

User

Such a fab service. A week to alter my wedding dress into something I can wear again and again. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. And handy that only a few doors away ’┐Į

User

Perfect!

Lovely customer service and my suit trousers now fit perfectly. I would highly recommend Tailoring & Alterations, I won't be going anywhere else! ­¤æī­¤Å╝­¤æÅ­¤Å╝

My wedding dress was becoming a living nightmare until I had the pleasure of meeting this master of her craft x my horror of an ill fitting dress was over! I never imagined I would make a friend along the way. I will forever be grateful of the amazing work Zen did on my dress and my bridesmaids. Recommending to everyone that wants professional work by the most amazing woman xxx Zen you are forever my hero. Thank you xxx

User

I would like to firstly thank Zen for how easygoing the alterations to my Bridal dress were, I had a lot of fun and she is happy to give you ideas but also take your opinion on board to come up with something that will work! My dress was very comfortable on the day and looked great in the photos purely because the Fitting of it was just right for my shape. I have already been back with another evening dress for a few small alterations and I couldn't recommend her more highly Fiona xx

User

I would highly recommend Zenub. She altered my wedding dress from a zip to a tie up back & she did an amazing job. Lovely friendly lady & reasonably priced. Everyone commented on how lovely the detail at the back was. I can't thank you enough. Emma

I found Zen on facebook, as i was looking for a local tailor to help me with alterations for my wedding dress. Zen was professional, polite and put me totally at ease. She is a lovely lady and she has done a brilliant job on my dress, and offered brilliant advice along the way. Would recommend Zen without a doubt - thank you Zen, I cannot wait to wear my dress on Saturday now! x

User

I can't recommend Zen enough. She is professional, and able to put you at ease at the same time. She did a fantastic job of altering the double hem of my bridesmaid dress, and made me feel just beautiful in it. I will definitely be using her next time I need an alteration!

User

I brought my wedding dress to Zenub with major alterations needed such as more material added to the bust, several layers of the dress removed and the dress shortened. Due to the material of the dress even the shortening of the dress was a difficult job. But Zenub managed to transform the dress to fit me perfectly and has made the dress look like a different dress. She was very friendly and accommodating and managed to fit me in for an appointment fairly quickly to sort the dress out. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to anyone who needs alterations for their wedding dress. She has done a fantastic job.

User

Had some sleeves altered as they were a little tight. Zenub was so lovely, friendly and chatty which put me at ease as sometimes it can be a bit embarrassing having to get things altered when they're a little on the small side! But the whole experience was great, she even re-steam-ironed them after I'd tried them on to make sure they were just right! The dresses are now perfect! Thank you so much once again, Zenub! :)

Excellent tailor, charming lady, 100% satisfaction with both my daughter's wedding dress and my own outfit. Would never go anywhere else.
