    Hi I want to alter the neck line on a T shirt but not to spend too much as the shirt cost only €15 but tis a pretty cool shirt, just needs more material around the neckline. Thanks!

    I went into the Zipline sorry Zipyard and found them very good. Got a selection of things done for €30 me thinks and they were all good, sleeping bag, tops, bra so they do everything might be worth a shot..

    There is one in Douglas and one in town

    There is also Impress beside the GPO (only used for dry cleaning but they're a good service).

    Singer on Grand Parade are good too (my wife has used them for alterations).

    Skip the Zipyard, there is a tailor above the Zipyard in Morris House in Douglas and he is great. Far cheaper than the zip yard and serious tailoring skills. There is a side door into Morris House where the zip yard is located, on the right hand side if standing in front. Go through the door and up the stairs. I used to use the clothes doctor on academy street but this guy is better and cheaper. Try him and see for yourself, its a 2 person team, himself and his wife.

    I ended up going to the Zipyard and they charged me €12. It wasn't too bad I thought? Douglas is kind of out of the way for me but thanks!

    I wouldn't be quick to give recommendations but I wouldn't hesitate with this guy as he does great work and charges a fair price. I might even get a discount off him next time!
