The Needle Loft

The Needle Loft is a garment alteration shop at Ashbourne House on South Park Road, Harrogate, specialising in bridal and clothing alterations. It alters and repairs ladies and gents clothing, including couture wedding and bridesmaid dresses, mother-of-the-bride outfits and evening wear, and it takes on designer labels such as Paul Smith, Ted Baker and Armani. Dresses that need tapering are part of the work, and private changing facilities are provided for fittings. The shop also covers occasional wear, so a wedding guest outfit can be altered at the same visit as the bridal party. Customers make an appointment by phone or email. The work covers both ladies and gents clothing, so a groom's suit can be altered by the same shop as the bride's dress.
