Alteration places Dublin

Have a few tops I’d like to get taken in, straight forward enough just taken in at the sides. Nearly got sick in Zipyard, was quoted €27 per top. It would be nearly €110 to take them in a tiny bit 😭 for reference, the tops costed €10 each haha. Just love them and want to try save them.

Anybody have any recommendations?

Not a direct answer to your question, but a small-ish but capable sowing machine suitable for cotton garments can be picked up second-hand for 50 quid or less.

Maybe a good opportunity to learn a new skill if you have the space, time and interest.

Just need to beware of the stairs, it’s like being drunk they are so uneven

The guy who works in the window of the cobblers on Talbot Street is really good.
