Before your fitting
Cannot find your answer? Call us, or ask at the counter.
What should I bring to a fitting?
The garment, and the shoes you will wear with it, because they change where a hem should fall. For a dress, also bring the underwear or shapewear you plan to wear. For a suit, wear a shirt like the one you will wear with it.
Do I need an appointment?
Not for hems and small repairs: drop in Tuesday to Saturday between 10:00 and 16:00. Please book wedding fittings and made-to-measure consultations, so we have time to do them properly.
How long will it take?
Most alterations are ready within 5 to 7 working days, and trouser hems and zips can be ready in 48 hours for a small extra charge (example times). You get the ready date on your ticket.
Can every garment be altered?
Most can be made smaller. Letting out depends on how much seam allowance is inside, and some fabrics, such as leather and sequins, need special care. We look at the garment and tell you honestly before you pay.
How much will it cost?
The price list shows where prices start. We confirm the final price when we pin the garment on you, before any work starts.
How long do you keep finished garments?
We keep finished work for 60 days (example). If you need longer, for example before a wedding, just tell us.
Bring it in and try it on
Book a fitting for a wedding, a made-to-measure suit or anything that needs more than a hem. We pin it on you and tell you the price and the ready date before you leave.
