Stitch Express

The shop is conveniently located near Haymarket station and looking at some pictures I believe it had a do-​over and looks more presentable nowadays.
The staff is very friendly (I only met one so). I can’t really compare much with other shops, but the work that they did was good enough for me.
I paid £7 for fixing a whole in a jumper and I had quite a few items to be fixed. You pay upfront and they advise you when the item will be ready for collection. You get a ticket.
I think their turn around time can be very quick, if you need your item soon. Personally, I even forgot about it, until I remembered. Was I glad they kept it :-)
The inside of the shop looks clean and professional. They are open until 18.00 during the week and on Saturday until 16.00. Closed on Sundays.
I noticed that I only was able to pay in cash, so you best take some with you.
I can recommend it to all who need a quick job done and have cash on hand.

Most people have left good reviews about these guys but I actually didn’t have a great experience.
They are really friendly but I took my wedding dress into them to get altered and when i got it back there was a bleached stain under the arm pit. Luckily nobody will see it because of where it is but still, it wasn’t there before.
Also the first time I went to pick it up it was as if they didn’t do anything to it. They said that there was a problem with the lining and fixed that (I hadn’t noticed a problem with it) but I needed it taken in and it was still really big on me. I’ve ended up taking it in myself.
Honestly don’t go there. There’s far better tailors in Edinburgh more expensive but worth it, especially of it’s your wedding dress.

i have taken my trousers there several times to be taken up and they do an excellent job and for such a small price. the staff are all friendly and helpful. i recommend this place and give it a 101% thumbs up.

I said last time that I’d have no hesitation in going back to Stitch Express and you know what? I haven’t!
Since my first review (when I had only been a couple of times) I’ve had the need to go back to Stitch Express loads. Trousers adjusted, buttons replaced, dry cleaning, button holes made, shirts fixed; you name it, I’ve had it done. Every time I’ve been the service, quality and price has been impeccable with all alterations made well within the time promised.
Often for smaller fixes and patch jobs they’ll do them whilst you wait — who can complain about paying £1 to have a button replaced?!
Good job this place exists or I’d look like a regular modern day ragamuffin.
If you’re on the Haymarket side of town and need some clothes adjust then make a bee line for Stitch Express. Or I’ll punch you.

This place was a life saver when I needed my wedding dress altered a week before my wedding! They did such a great job, very quickly, and for such a great price. They also altered one of my bridesmaid dresses to fit her perfectly. I was so pleased!
