About

In a world of standard sizes, true elegance lies in the perfect fit. Clothing is designed for a mannequin, but you are uniquely you. Our professional alteration service is the key to bridging this gap, transforming nearly-right garments into personalized pieces that celebrate your individual form. We believe that the clothes you love should fit you flawlessly, offering not just style, but unparalleled comfort and confidence with every wear.

 

Our process is built on a foundation of expert craftsmanship and personalized consultation. It begins with a detailed fitting where you try on the garment with one of our master tailors. We conduct a meticulous analysis, identifying exactly where the fabric billows, pulls, or hangs incorrectly. We listen to your comfort preferences and style goals, whether you desire a modern, tapered silhouette or a classic, comfortable fit. We then provide a clear, transparent plan and quote for the necessary work, ensuring you understand every step of the transformation.

 

Our comprehensive services cover the full spectrum of alteration needs for both menswear and womenswear:

 

Precise Hemming: For trousers, dresses, skirts, and sleeves, ensuring the perfect length for your height and posture.

 

Reshaping & Tapering: Taking in or letting out seams to sculpt the garment to your body, eliminating a boxy fit and creating a flattering silhouette.

 

Complex Restructuring: Adjusting shoulders, tapering sleeves, and refining the fit of jackets and coats, including delicate internal canvas work.

 

Specialized Repairs: Expert zipper replacement, seam reinforcement, and patching to restore functionality and appearance.

 

Detail-Oriented Finishing: Handling delicate fabrics like silk and lace, and working with intricate details such as beading and pleats.

 

We treat every garment with the utmost care, using techniques that preserve the original design and integrity of the fabric. The result is more than just a fix; it’s a renewal. It is the confidence that comes from knowing your wardrobe works for you, that every piece fits as if it were made for you—because, in our hands, it now is. Invest in the garments you already own and discover the transformative power of a perfect fit.

Here are some of the most common questions we receive about clothing alterations:

FAQ

Average time: Most custom dresses require 1-2 weeks; the time of a bridal gown can vary based on the level of difficulty and alterations. We will provide a definite schedule during your consultation.

Yes - we are bridal dress specialists, and those kinds of elaborate alterations, such as installing bustles and structural modifications.

Absolutely. We will be able to use your cloth or assist in finding the high-quality ones with reliable suppliers.

The prices will be different depending on complexity and materials. After a first session of consultation and measurement, we present itemised quotes.

Tailoring is an entirely custom practise. An exclusive paper is hand-written, depending on your actual measurements and posture, and can be personalised in any manner with respect to style, cloth, and fit. Made-to-measure is a tailoring of a standard base pattern to your measurements, which does not give as much flexibility in silhouette as ready-to-wear, but provides a more customised fit.

In case of a new custom clothing, we tend to plan 2-4 fittings to make a gradual improvement of the fitting. With normal changes, a single fitting may be enough to hold the changes, then a last attempt of trying on to be certain of the changes being perfect.

It is easy to take clothes in, but it is only possible to take a garment out when there is enough excess cloth in the seams. In your consultation, we will consider the seam allowances and give you a fair judgment.

Absolutely. Our master tailors and seamstresses spend all their life working with a great variety of materials, both delicate silk chiffon and lace, and heavyweight leather and fur. We employ special methods and equipment that are used to produce the perfect outcome without destroying the fabric.

Depending on the complexity and time taken in performing a particular job, prices are set. A basic hemming service begins at a cheaper rate and more sophisticated restructurings such as acquiring a suit jacket are more complex. Our prices are clear and straightforward, and we do not give any surprises since we do not want to be caught unawares.

Please bring the shoes and under garment you will be wearing with the garment. This is essential in coming out with the right hem level, posture, and general silhouette. In case of suit fittings, take a shirt that you are going to wear.

We provide express services upon request in case of urgent changes. We will never lie on what is possible to do within a tight timeframe and will discuss possible ramification to the cost. Please call us as soon as you can get a slot.

Yes and we offer a complete list of repair services, such as zip-per repair, seam repair, patchwork repair and coat or jacket re-lining that returns the functionality and wearability to the pieces you hold dear.

Yes, we can. Most of our clients include inspiring photos or sketches of their own. These serve as a starting point to a consultation where we talk about how the design can be modified to suit your figure and be made reality with the help of the right fabrics and construction.

Any custom commission or large alteration order will need 50% deposit to start work on the project. The balance balance is payable on finishing fitting and collection. In case of smaller modification work, it is paid at once on completion.

We offer both options. Our selection of high-quality fabric swatches varies widely and we have a range of fabric swatches of famous mills. Alternatively, we welcome you to find your own fabric, and we are glad to advise on its appropriateness to your intended garment.

Every garment is given individual aftercare guidelines when collected. We usually suggest professional dry clean only in cases of need and steamer instead of ironing the clothes to preserve their integrity and shape, especially tailored suits and delicate objects.

We know that schedules are altered. We just require a minimum of 24 hours notice in order to rearrange or cancel a fitting appointment. This will enable us to give the slot to a different client. Bespoke project deposits are not refundable after pattern drafting or cutting of fabric has started.
