SKIRT ALTERATIONS
We have the experience of working on any type of fabric from leather to delicate lace, sequin, beads and other materials that overall are not easy to alter. For skirts that are too loose or tight on the waist or hips, we can quickly and effectively reduce or increase size by adjusting the side seams or the centre back seam. 
After a fitting with our seamstress we can also determine the perfect fit for your body shape. For a neater silhouette we taper (narrow) skirts either fully or partly. For a subtle taper we would remove excess fabric from the inside seams and we can shorten any type of hems whether your skirt has one or multiple layers, keeping the original design intact.

Darts can be added to the body of a blouse to narrow it at the waist and depending on the run, we can alter the hips and a little of the chest.

COAT ALTERATIONS
We're able to improve the fit of your coat or jacket, take in the side seams or rear centre seam for a flattering fit. Also shorten the length of your coat or sleeves ensuring the original stitch pattern, thread colour and any detail are matched perfectly. 
When shortening the sleeves of a coat we can offer two options such as; shortening from the crown (shoulder) or from the sleeve end. Working from the shoulder means that the cuff detail or ‘shams’ are not disturbed and consequently the design and proportions of the coat or jacket have remained original. We can narrow or ‘chip’ the shoulders of a coat for a neater fit or add pads to define the silhouette or even out a dropped shoulder. A ripple of excess fabric across the back neck area or ‘Square back neck’ can be removed by simply opening the back neck and shoulder seam, lifting excess fabric and re-stitching as original for a more complimentary fit on the body. We also specialise in Coat Relining. If your jacket or coat has a worn lining. We're able to replace your existing lining with either a close resembling colour, replace it with a colour of your choice adding more pockets or detail at your request. Zip replacement or buttons are of course basic alterations that we are happy to perform.

JEANS ALTERATIONS
Unfortunately, most Jeans and Denim garments stretch once they have been worn several times. Even if you were completely happy with the fit at the time of the purchase you might find that your favourite jeans have become too baggy and no longer fit you very well. Fortunately, our highly experienced tailors, can easily fix this. 
Whether you have bought a pair of classic light denim jeans or decided on a pair of heavier loom-state selvedge denim, we're experienced to alter your jeans to perfection! We'll understand your preference and help you find the perfect fit to match your body type. Our experts can carry out basic alterations consisting of; hem shortening or more complex alterations like; changing the rise of your jeans, lowering the waistband, taking in/ letting out the waist, or completely changing the cut of your jeans by turning your boot-cut pair of denims into a pair of fashionable skinny jeans. Rolling or cuffing your jeans looks a bit dated nowadays, and the proper contemporary fit demands a little bit of length that creates a small break, or, if you prefer, just grazes the top of your shoes. So if you are seeking the contemporary fit simply ask us to help you find the perfect length. If your jeans are too long but you don’t want to lose the original hem we're able to retain a pre-worn finish by cutting away the original hem and reinstating it at the required length. Whether we're simply shortening your jeans or tapering them (making more narrow) we'll pay close attention that the original stitching and thread colour is matched perfectly. Also replace lost jean buttons, rivets, repair tears or make general repairs.
