About Us

At Thimbelle, the idea is simple: clothing alterations should be easy to fit into everyday life.Whether it’s a pair of trousers that need shortening, a zip that needs replacing, or a favourite piece that just doesn’t fit quite right, Thimbelle is here to help.You can visit for your fitting, or Thimbelle can come to you. The mobile fitting service is designed to make alterations more convenient, without the hassle of travelling, parking or trying to squeeze another errand into your day.Every garment is handled with care, with a focus on a great fit and a beautifully finished result.Because sometimes a small alteration can make a big difference to how something feels, and how often you wear it.
