When the Darlings purchse something special - say, a magnificent vintage frock - and it just needs a bit of alteration, or when we have a dress we adore enough to want copied in a different size, we go directly to our favourite tailor in Canberra: TT Fashion. Upstairs in Baileys Arcade, Canberra City.

'Mr T' is an expert tailor who is capable of altering, recreating or making pretty much anything. He is the person we trust with key vintage, expensive garments or when we know we need something to fit and fit well. His finish is always magnificent, it is impossible to tell that the garment has even been altered. Best of all, if he genuinely thinks something is not going to work, he will always politely say so, and then suggest workable alternatives.

It is so often the case that people will sigh to us that they tried on this wonderful vintage garment but didn't purchase it because it 'didn't quite fit'. We say, go ahead and buy your dream garment. Give TT Fashion a call on02 6262 8988 or just bring it to Baileys Arcade during business hours and pop in. You will find the very reasonable cost very worthwhile to have a beautiful, unique garment that fits you perfectly.
