Does anyone know where I can get a simple alteration done on a dress, which won't cost a fortune? Somewhere on the Island would be most convenient, preferably not way out in New Territories.

There are several tailors in World Wide House

I do not know how they are, but a couple of days ago I explored the Melbourne Building, on Queen's Rd, not far from the Landmark (opposite H&M, I believe) and there was nothing but alteration shops.
Please support our advertisers:
There is Maggie Fashion Alteration Shop 2nd Fl., Shop 82 Admiralty Tower 2, tel. 2528-2555 or Mitty Fashion tel. 2523-8786 in Wellington Street.
Hope this helps.

Last year I had a minor alteration done at one of the tailors in World Wide House for $90, which was a fair price. A couple of months later I went back to ask how much the same woman would charge me to copy my really plain and simple, easy-to-sew, sleeveless top, using the cotton fabric I showed her. With a cursory look at them she snapped, "$900". If I'd wanted to pay Prada prices I wouldn't have gone to WWH, so I told her she clearly didn't need my business and walked. I guess what I'm trying to say is don't rely on a place you've been happy with before to always be cheap and cheerful!
