Recommended dress maker/tailor(ess)

Hi,<br><br>Can anyone suggest someone local who may be able to alter a dress the future Mrs N19 bought?  It's a bridesmaid dress which we needs to be altered from a size 8 to really a size 7, so it needs to be taken in at the sides.  We got the dress in a sale and the returns policy is 14 days so could really do with someone looking at it ASAP to advise if it will be easy to alter.<br><br>Thanks.<br>

Sew in Crouch End. Not the cheapest in the area but consistently good.

Steve's in Hornsey Rd, between Thorpedale Rd and Tollington Park. He is actually Stavros, and he is a proper tailor, as well as surprisingly cheap. His specialism is theatre costume and the shop is often full of eccentric opera costumes etc, but over the years he's done a lot of shortening legs and sleeves for me! That said I haven't been in for a year or so, and I think he was passing the business on to his younger partner, who I don't know. But definitely worth a visit.<div><br></div><div>I've also used Images in Fonthill Rd; they are good but expensive compared to Stavros, so I switched - but they do a lot of dressmaking and bridal stuff.</div>
