Dressmakers
Plymouth

Home to both England’s oldest working gin distillery and what’s reputed to be the globe’s oldest commercial bakery, Plymouth grew as a shipping port during the industrial revolution – exporting local tin, copper, arsenic and more, while handling American imports.

Today, the economy of the second largest city in the south west is growing faster than the country’s. Plymouth contributes over £4.3 billion to the UK.

It is, of course, a crucial armed forces and maritime city, with everything from Britain’s only nuclear submarine refitting naval base and the Royal Navy Engineering College, to the Marine Biological Association’s headquarters and Marine Science laboratories researching climate change and more.

With the University of Plymouth and two large colleges training the engineers, technicians and local tradesmen of tomorrow, you’re not short of professionals to help you get the job done.

From renewable energy in Efford to bathroom fitters in Camels Head and carpenters in West Park, refer to our Plymouth directory of local tradesmen.

Are you after made-to-measure clothing such as a dress, skirt or trousers?

Perhaps it is something more specialist like a bespoke wedding dress or other bridal wear. Find local professional dressmakers to construct, alter, repair or revise any kind of custom clothing.

If you need somebody who can perform alterations, sew hems, fix tears, mend zippers and apply buttons, you’re in the right place.
