The challenges facing dry cleaners and alteration shops
A wedding dress needs three fittings timed to a date
The last one happens eight to fifteen days before the wedding, not whenever there is room. The whole series gets booked backwards, from the date.
With Kagenda
Book a whole course of sessions at once, one after another.
Recurring appointments
A ten-minute fitting and an express hem do not block the same way
One occupies the fitting room and a seamstress, the other the machine. On the same slots, one prevents the other.
With Kagenda
Each service gets its own slots: some in the morning, others late in the day.
Hours per service
The customer comes for nothing
They collect a garment that is not ready, or they never collect the one that has been ready for three weeks. A message when it is ready solves both.
With Kagenda
Confirmed, moved or cancelled — both you and the client are told.
Email notifications
The counter is busy when the phone rings
A fitting in the room, a customer dropping off, and the phone. What books itself online interrupts nobody.
With Kagenda
Clients book from your page, even while you are with someone else or closed.

The fitting room is a resource, not an intention
One room, one fitting at a time. Two appointments accepted at the same hour and somebody waits in their coat.

Practical guide: Dry cleaners and alteration shops
- The three fittings for a dress booked at the first one, working back from the wedding date.
- One service per type: fitting, express hem, complex alteration, drop-off. Four durations, four ways of occupying the workroom.
- The fitting room declared as a resource: one fitting at a time.
- An automatic message when the garment is ready. That is what empties the rails.
- A "garment type, alteration wanted, deadline" field at booking.
- A reminder the night before fittings, telling them to bring the shoes they will wear.
Frequently asked questions
How much does an alteration cost in the UK?
Around £12 to £25 for a hem, £20 to £45 to take in a jacket, and £150 to £450 for a wedding dress alteration over several fittings. Set your own prices.
What rules apply to dry cleaning machines in the UK?
Solvent, and it is a permitting matter rather than a trading one. Dry cleaning using perchloroethylene is a Part B installation under the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016: you need a permit from your local authority, which sets solvent consumption limits, machine standards, leak testing, record keeping and an annual solvent mass balance, and inspects you. Operating without a permit is an offence. Perc is also a hazardous substance under COSHH with a workplace exposure limit, waste solvent and still residues are hazardous waste requiring a registered carrier and consignment notes, and machines must be maintained to prevent emissions. Alternative solvents may fall outside the permitting threshold — check with your council before changing.
Can I book three fittings back from the wedding date?
Yes, by placing the dates from the last one backwards.
Can I have different durations by alteration?
Yes, each service carries its own.
How do I tell a customer their garment is ready?
With an automatic message when you mark it ready.
How do I avoid two fittings at the same hour?
By declaring the fitting room as a resource.
