Best tailors/alterations in Dublin?

whats a board?

I have a pair of jeans and I want the inseam reduced by one inch, maintaining the exact same form except one inch shorter. Where can I get this done, preferably in city centre?

There's a good place on South Anne St, which I think a lot of the local shops use for their alterations. I can't remember the name of it, but it's upstairs from a restaurant or wine bar

It's The Alteration Centre in South Anne Street above Abrakebabra. I've used them for years for alteration and repairs for my customers.

Thank you both for the information. I will check them out.

Also, where would you go to make a 'slim fit' shirt slimmer? Is that possible?

Des Byrne just at the bottom of Grafton St, (above Burger King) is where I went for my dress alterations.

Yes, and it's a very simple job. Anyone reasonably competent on a sewing machine can do it. Any alteration place should be able to do it.

Apologies for bringing up an old thread...


I have a shirt for a wedding thats way too big for me, the neck size is right but the rest looks like a tent can those alteration places trim it down to make it a slim-size? Might it be too much for them to handle if the shirt is too big...?

My quest for actual slim-fit shirts continues

Thanks for any replies!

Also jumping on board the old thread, reminded me of something I've been meaning to ask for ages:

I found a great 80s leather biker jacket in a vintage store for a snip (8 euro!!) but it's way too big for me in the body and arms. At the moment I have the back sorta safety pinned together to fit my torso more snugly, but the arms are still batwings.

Does anyone know if it would be possible for a tailor to make alterations to a leather jacket? It's really thick, strong leather :-/ Also if this is gonna cost me a fortune, it may not be worth it...

Is that alteration place on south anne st still recommended?
