I've read a lot on here about the benefits of getting things tailored. So now I'm looking for advice on how to get started! 
- what sort of alterations make a difference
- what sort of prices to expect
- and most importantly, how to find a good tailor?? (I recently used a local dry cleaner to shorten a pair of trousers and they were terrible, v shoddy sewing.)
I'm in S.E. London if that helps.
Thanks everyone!
