Looking for the best seamstress in ED or around.

Or seamster. Tho I think this will be a woman. Open mind.

The garments will be old and everyday. We're not talking couture. We're talking keeping old, worn, loved garments going. Making do, mending, appreciating.

There was a brilliant Cypriot lady at Alpine Cleaners in Grove Vale but she moved.

The mender at the drycleaners by the PO is OK, but I'm looking for frankly amazing.

This person need not work at a dry cleaners, nor indeed, outside her or his home.

Happy to pay for artistry. Don't want to be either ripped off or an exploiter. Simple as.

Send me a PM or maybe just post.

Thanks,

Lee Scoresby.

Otherwise in Bellenden Road are brilliant! They’ve made me stage dresses, restructured vintage finds and are working on remodelling my late brothers huntsman tweed suit for my modern husband! Not cheap and rents have meant they are moving premises at mo.

On the matter of gender, raised early in the thread

There were a couple of male tailors in the area, first generation Carribbean, I think there was a time when many emigrated with these skills 

Go back 60 years and you may have had a suit made by a Jewish male tailer in the East End 

Not sure if it is common to have males in this field of work nowadays although I expect Saville Row is still male dominated.

    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc. 
    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
