Limerick: Where to get a shirt taken in ?

    Does anyone know a tailor or alteration service where I can get a dress shirt taken in in Limerick?

    How much does this normally cost?

    I've never had this done before.
    Do they need to see it on in order to pin it?

    Thanks in advance.

    This is how I think it would go if you tried Fitrite (I've used them for years and they've never done a job wrong):

    Go in wearing a normal shirt, show them the dress shirt and say you want it taken in.

    They'll ask you to change into it in the cubicle, and when you come out they'll pin it up as necessary.

    Then you return to the cubicle and change back to your normal shirt, being very careful not to dislodge the pins, and you hand the dress shirt over.

    +1. They even repaired two golf club covers for me earlier this year - job done in about 20 mins. as I got them at a quiet time. I've had great service from them over the years.

    Another plus one for Fit rite. Always found them good. Place up in roxboro is good as well but only ever used them for straightforward alterations.
