Absolutely! You can provide the materials yourself or let us source them for you. We work with all types of fillers and foams. Measurements can be done either by you or by us at a time convenient for you.
Is It Possible to Replicate My Favorite Clothing Item?
Yes, if you provide a sample or pattern, we can replicate your cherished item. Not all garments can be replicated from a photograph alone. Timelines and costs are determined based on complexity and discussed after receiving the sample. We do not mark up material prices—only our workmanship is evaluated.
Can You Repair Bags or Backpacks?
Certainly! While not all items can be repaired, bring yours in, and we’ll honestly assess what can be done along with the cost.
Is There a Way to Make a Garment Bigger?
Expanding a garment depends on the available fabric left in the seams. Simply bring it to us, and we’ll determine how much enlargement or lengthening is possible
What If There Isn’t Enough Fabric Inside to Let Out?
Our tailors can offer creative solutions, such as adding tasteful panels to give you the fit you need. Schedule a no-obligation consultation to explore what we can achieve for you!
Do You Have a Fitting Room?
Yes, we offer a spacious, fully equipped fitting room with excellent lighting and a full-length mirror. Whether you're here for clothing alterations, repairs, or custom creations, you’ll have a comfortable space to see how everything fits and feels.
What Do I Need to Bring for the Fitting?
To ensure the best results during a fitting, wear or bring clothing and accessories that match what you'll pair with the tailored item. For example: • Shoes that you intend to pair with a dress, trousers, or jeans, particularly when adjusting their length. • Suit pants to align the jacket length appropriately. • For women, selecting the right undergarments can significantly influence how the garment fits. These thoughtful details ensure we tailor your piece with precision and accuracy. You can book your appointment using the button below.
I Have a Lot of Clothing that Needs Altering, Would You Be Able to Give a Discount on a Certain Amount?
To offer great value, we provide a discount for bulk alterations. For example, if you bring 3 items or more, we can offer 10% off the total cost. The exact discount will depend on the total number of items and the type of alterations needed, but we're happy to work with you to find the best solution.
What Happens if I'm Unhappy with My Alterations?
We take great pride in the quality of our work and want every customer to be fully satisfied. If you're unhappy with your alterations, please bring the item back to us, and we’ll do everything possible to make it right. Our goal is to ensure that the finished piece meets your expectations. Let’s discuss the adjustments needed, and we’ll find the best solution together!
