WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING
CUSTOM ALTERATIONS FOR YOUR EVENT WEAR
When the occasion demands absolute perfection—from a black tie gala to a wedding or corporate event—ready-to-wear simply won't suffice. Our master tailors specialize in the structural, precision work needed for high-value garments. We guarantee a flawless, custom fit that ensures maximum confidence and comfort on your most important nights.
SUIT & TUXEDO FITTING
We specialize in rebuilding shoulders, lifting the collar, and taking in the jacket waist to eliminate bunching. We guarantee a sharp, tailored silhouette that commands attention.
GOWN & BODICE SHAPING
We handle the most critical adjustments: bodice shaping, intricate take-ins and let-outs, and adding paneling to ensure your gown fits securely and comfortably for the entire evening.
CUSTOM TROUSER SLIM FIT
Transform your trousers with modern tapering for a slim, contemporary fit. We take in the waist and perfect the break/length required for formal shoes, making your legs look sharper.
HEMMING & LENGTH
Essential for formal wear. We offer precision hemming on all fabrics, including those with satin stripes or delicate linings, ensuring the length is immaculate for your chosen footwear.
JACKET & COAT LINING
Formal jackets and coats see heavy use. We repair and replace damaged inner linings, reinforce pockets, and secure buttons to protect the longevity of your high-value outerwear.
SHOLDER SLEEVE ADJUSTMENTS
Ensure the cuff sits perfectly. We shorten or lengthen sleeves, adjusting the cuff width on suits, tuxedos, and coats so your shirt cuff (and cufflinks) are displayed flawlessly.
ESSENTIAL REFINEMENTS & WARDROBE LONGEVITY
The difference between a good outfit and a flawless one often lies in the details. This module covers all the necessary finishing touches—from perfecting your formal shirt to reshaping outerwear and handling urgent repairs. We ensure every piece in your festive wardrobe is aligned with a specialist fit, protecting your investment and extending the life of your most cherished clothing.
SHIRT RESHAPING & FIT
Don't let a baggy shirt ruin your look. We taper and re-shape dress shirts for a slim fit under your jacket, ensuring the collar is perfect for your bow tie or tie.
COAT & JACKET RESHAPING
Ensure your coat complements your evening wear. We reshape, resize, and shorten sleeves on dinner jackets, overcoats, and other evening wear to maintain a clean, high-end line.
DRESS SKIRTS REDESIGN
Repurpose a garment for a new occasion. We offer complete dress redesigns, adding new paneling, or simply tapering skirts for a more contemporary silhouette.
STRAP & LIFTING
Ensure a perfect fit and all-night comfort. We lift and shorten dress straps, reinforce thin shoulders, and add discreet loops for securing bras or undergarments.
ZIP REPAIRS & HOOKS
We fix urgent issues: replacing broken zips on dresses and jackets, and securely adding hooks & eyes where needed for extra garment security and fit.
SKIRT & CASUAL TROUSER FIT
Even your semi-formal items deserve attention. We specialize in taking in the waist on skirts and tapering casual trousers to ensure every piece in your festive wardrobe is ready to wear.
