Alterations and tailoring

Made to fit you, not the label

Most clothing is cut for an average nobody actually is. An alteration closes that gap. Bring the piece you already own and leave with something that fits like it was made for you.

What to bring to your fitting

  • The garment you want altered
  • The shoes you plan to wear with it, especially for hems
  • The undergarments you plan to wear with it
  • Any deadline or event date you are working toward

Alteration policies

  • The fitting appointment is free. Alteration services are priced separately after your garment is assessed.
  • You receive a price quote at your fitting. No work begins until you approve that quote.
  • Pricing depends on the garment, the fabric and the amount of work involved, so quotes are given in person rather than over the phone.
  • Bringing the correct shoes and undergarments matters. A hem measured without them may not sit correctly.
  • If you have an event date, share it when you book so your timeline can be confirmed before work is scheduled.
