Zip Repairs

Zip Repairs

About

A broken jacket may mean the end of life of your favorite garment, a garment that you rely on to wear. Whether it is a jammed slider, a busted tooth or a ripped seam, a malfunctioning zipper not only undermines the performance but also makes the attire look unpleasing. We provide a professional, quality, and trusted zipper repair service in our studio, which is a quick and permanent solution of re-introducing your favourite garments in operation with clean invisible workmanship.

 

We realise there is no such zipper problem. Our master tailors will start with a proper diagnosis to identify the best way of repairing. We evaluate the nature of the zipper, whether it is a fine invisible zip on a dress, or a hard metal zip on a jacket, or a fly zip on a pair of trousers, and the cause of the failure. We then give an outright quote and schedule. We have all-inclusive repair services, which involve:

 

Slider Replacement: Replacing a slider that has become worn or damaged, and is usually the most cost effective and quickest way to fix a zipper that will not remain up or does not part easily.

 

Full Zipper Replacement: Skilled labour of taking out the damaged zipper, and putting on another perfectly matched zipper. Our zippers are of good quality, with different weights, colours, and types available so that a perfect match of the design of your garment can be made.

 

Thread & Stitch Repair: Re-sewing a zipper that has fallen off the fabric, such as to make the seam which can last longer.

 

Trouser Fly and Jean Zip Specialisation: This would deal with the specialty of the trouser flies, the repair of the modesty panel and the smooth, non-obtrusive seamure.

 

The accuracy and conservation is the key feature of our service. We do not simply make a repair, we do it carefully in regard to the neighbouring cloth. The old stitching is carefully taken out, the colour of the thread is matched, the new zipper is smoothed flat and works well. In case of delicate fabrics such as silk or leather materials we employ special procedures to avoid abrasion. Professional zipper repair is an investment into the life of your garment, because it makes them work again and you feel comfortable and at ease because you have your favourite clothes to wear many years long.

Alteration Services

Services

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.
