The London Fashion Workrooms

Established in 1892 as a formalwear manufacturer, The London Fashion Workrooms branched into alterations in the seventies. The first large fashion workroom was launched in 1997 specifically to service the shops and boutiques of London’s west end.

Based in Covent Garden with a 4000 square foot purpose built unit, we presently provide garment alteration services to 38 high-end London stores and many private clients. With 20 tailors on site we have the skills and personnel necessary to provide a one-stop service for all your needs.

Garment Repairs & Invisible Mending

The London Fashion Workrooms restore loved garments to their former glory. Whether they are ripped or worn, fixing garments is an economical way to preserve quality clothing. Some fabrics can be repaired using a simple patch. For jeans in particular this is a cost effective and hardwearing way of fixing a damaged area. Where appropriate we can disguise damage by adding a small dart or a cleverly placed new seam.

We can replace or reinforce well-worn areas of a garment such as the gusset of trousers to ensure a longer life. Our skilled tailors often reinstate worn out pockets and reline garments either fully or partly depending on your requirements.

For precious garments or finer fabrics such as wool or silk we can invisibly mend holes or rips by reweaving the fabric. We use threads taken from a concealed area of the garment such as a hem or internal facing to replicate the original weave. This technique dates back more than 200 years and is a highly skilled and time-consuming process. The result is as flawless as humanly possible.
