Specialist decisions made for the individual item

We assess whether an alteration is practical for the fabric and construction.
A local connection for specialist garments
Customers in Montgomery can use The Window Dresser as an established agent connection to our Shrewsbury operation. Suitable garments enter the service locally, travel to us for individual assessment and return through the agent after treatment. This route is useful when a garment needs more than home washing but a trip to our main store isn't convenient. Provide the care label, stain history and any concerns about colour, decoration or previous treatment when you hand the item over.
Care shaped by fabric, construction and fit
We assess silk, leather, suede, designer coats and other delicate pieces according to their fibres, dyes, linings and trims. Our eco cleaning method provides water-based, low-temperature treatment for suitable garments. You can also enquire about alterations to improve length or fit, although precise work may require direct assessment or a fitting. Please contact us before sending a particularly valuable, complex or urgent piece through the agent, so we can advise on the most suitable handover route.
Frequently asked questions
Can designer garments use the Montgomery agent route?
Suitable pieces may travel through The Window Dresser, but contact us first for highly valuable, delicate or time-sensitive garments. We need details about the material, decoration, stains and previous treatment before advising on handover.
Do leather and suede need different treatment?
Yes. Surface, colour and construction affect how leather and suede should be handled. We inspect each item individually and discuss existing wear or colour variation, as specialist materials don't suit one standard cleaning cycle.
Can an alteration be arranged through the agent?
You can make an initial enquiry through the local route. However, a fitted alteration may require you to attend an assessment with the garment and relevant shoes or layers so we can agree the finished length and shape.
