Alterations & Custom Tailoring

Book a seamstress and get a perfect fit

Clothes fit better when they're made to fit you. Our in-house tailors handle everything from a simple pant hem to a full suit rebuild, and they're on-site — not shipped to a third party. You book a fitting, we pin, you get the garment back when it's perfect.

What we alter

Pant and jean hems, sleeve length on shirts and jackets, taking in or letting out waists, side seams, jacket shoulders and chest, dress hems, bridesmaid dresses, gown bustles, tapering, zippers, re-lining coats, patching worn areas, and full custom alterations. If it's fabric and it's broken, we probably fix it.

How a fitting works

Walk in or book ahead. You try the garment on, the tailor pins the adjustments, you look in the mirror together and agree on the result. We write it up, give you a pickup date, and — critically — you get a second fitting before the work is called finished. No shipping, no guessing, no 'we'll see how it turns out.'

Bridal and formalwear

We routinely alter bridal gowns, bridesmaid dresses, mother-of-the-bride dresses, tuxedos, and formalwear. For weddings, plan two fittings at minimum — first fitting 6-8 weeks out, second fitting about 2 weeks before the event. For rush situations we can usually make it work; call us.

Priority alterations for members

Membership customers get priority alteration scheduling — your garment moves ahead of the queue. If you regularly need tailor work (a growing teenager, a wardrobe overhaul, post-baby adjustments), the membership math is usually better than à la carte.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an appointment for a fitting?+

Walk-ins are welcome. Appointments guarantee the tailor's time — recommended for bridal, complex jobs, or if you're on a tight schedule.

How long do alterations take?+

Most simple jobs (hems, sleeve length) are 3-5 days. Suits and dresses usually take 7-10 days with a second fitting. Rush is usually possible — ask.

Can you alter a gown I bought online?+

Yes. We alter online purchases all the time. Bring it in and we'll walk through what's possible.

Do you do menswear suit alterations?+

Yes — pants, jackets, shirts, shoulders, tapering. Our tailors are experienced with full suit work.
