Clothing Alterations

About

Clothes are designed to conform to a manikin not to a human being. We’re here to change that. Like the rest in our studio, we are designing on the minimal, strong perception: your clothes must fit you, but not the other. Whether it is an old shirt that you have adored since childhood or a brand new item that is practically flawless, our professional alteration service allows the clothing item to achieve its potential. We make close enough a tailor-made, and therefore everything in your wardrobe fits your body in the most perfect way and reflects your style to a dot.

We begin with a pleasant conversation. You will put on your clothes with one of our master tailors, and he must look very attentively at the way they fit. About what is uncomfortable and desired style, we inquire with whether it is modern tapered or classic loose fit. We then present you with a plan and a reasonable quote of work required. Our complete line of services would include all the fit issues with all types of clothes, such as:

Trousers and Jeans: We take up just as we hem, give the legs a narrowing, and bring the waist down making the pants fit the shoe and appear to become flattering.

Jackets & Blazars: Revise the sleeves by shortening them, by pinching up the sides so that they fit the waist more snugly, by trimming the shoulders where we can make an impressionable well-built effect.

Dresses Skirts: We hem, make or break seams, and also adjust straps to make the dress or skirt fit you.

Shirts and Blouses:Perfect Fit along the sides and back, sleeve length cut and open necklines are adjusted.

Even better than any good we have done is the dexterity we apply on each stitch. We treat a silk blouse as we would a heavy wool coat, and we take special methods and equipment with each material. We freehandedly fit the thread, maintain the original finish and reinforce any stress areas so the modification cannot be noticed and would be durable. When it comes to stored goods such as by suits, we rework the inner material to recapture the entire outfit, which gives the appearance and feel of the comfortable fit.

The best, most environmentally conscious method of keeping a wardrobe is to change clothes. It reinvigorates old favourites, economises when purchasing costly items, and lets good purchases look better.

The completed product is not just a fitting cloth but it provides confidence on a day to day basis. We will be able to see that you are putting your best foot forward since the clothes are American made and they glorify your figure. We would love to make you a wardrobe where everything fits perfectly since we make each piece custom-made.

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.
