Tailoring Questions Answered
Common questions from customers about our fitting and alteration process.
How long does a custom suit take to complete?
A bespoke suit typically requires two to three fittings and takes between two and four weeks to complete, depending on fabric availability and the complexity of the design chosen.
Can you alter clothing bought from other stores?
Yes, we regularly alter garments purchased elsewhere, including trousers, dresses, jackets, and shirts. Bring the item in for a fitting so we can assess the adjustments needed.
Do you repair torn or damaged clothing?
We handle seam repairs, fabric patching, and reinforcement of worn areas on everyday garments. Bring the item in so we can evaluate the damage and recommend the appropriate repair method.
How much do alterations typically cost?
Pricing depends on the garment type and the extent of the alteration, such as hemming versus a full resizing. We provide a specific quote after examining the item in person.
Do I need an appointment for a fitting?
Walk-ins are welcome, but scheduling a fitting appointment in advance helps us allocate enough time for measurements and reduces waiting, especially during busier periods.
Can you shorten a wedding gown or formal dress?
Yes, we handle hem shortening, bodice adjustments, and strap alterations on wedding gowns and formal dresses, working carefully with delicate fabrics and detailed embellishments.
