The key to the perfect alteration is to have an understanding of the original garment design. This knowledge comes from a formal qualification in pattern making and over 20 years experience altering clothes.
Typical requests include;
- Taking in; possible through side seams, waistband, zip, shoulders and sleeves
- Letting out; similar to above but requires seam allowance
- Shortening & letting down hems
- Altering the neckline of blouses and dresses (lower or higher)
- Completely downsizing an item due to weight loss (trousers, skirts, jackets, blouses, dresses etc)
*This list is a guide only. We welcome all types of alterations.
