Have Your Dress Expertly Altered So It Contours Your Body Perfectly
WHAT WE ALTER
Nine kinds of adjustments, one careful hand.
From a quick hem to a full resize, every alteration is pinned on you first, then hand-finished to match the dress's original construction.
Hemming
Raise or lower a hemline while keeping the drape and lining even.
Taken in / let out
Resize the waist, bust, or side seams so the dress sits right.
Sleeves & straps
Shorten, reshape, or replace sleeves, and reset strap length.
Necklines
Restitch a neckline or adjust where it sits across the collarbone.
Zippers & closures
Replace a broken zipper, hook, snap, or button closure.
Linings & repairs
Mend torn seams, loose linings, and small snags.
Darts & waist shaping
Reshape darts and seams for a fitted silhouette through the torso.
Adding pockets
Set in-seam or patch pockets without disrupting the line of the dress.
Bust & cup support
Add or adjust built-in cups, boning, or bust support.

All types of dresses alterations service
Bridal gowns come with their own fittings, boning, and timelines — that's a specialty on its own, so we leave it to bridal-only ateliers. It means every other dress on our rack gets a tailor's undivided attention, from a first pin to a final press.
THE PROCESS
Four steps from rack to right fit.
Book a fitting
Pick a time online or drop in with the dress you want adjusted.
Get pinned
We mark every adjustment on you, while the dress is on.
We alter it
Hand-finished in our workroom, matched to the original stitching.
Final fitting
Try it on, we check the fit, and it's ready to wear.
DECIDING WHAT TO DO
Common questions before booking.
Do you alter bridal gowns?
Yes. Bridal gowns need their own specialist fittings, so we recommend an appointment to be made with our bridal fitter. We also focus on every other dress, bridesmaid, mother-of-the-bride, cocktail, prom, vintage, and everyday wear.
How many fittings will I need?
Most alterations need one pinning fitting and one final fitting. Bigger changes, like darts or bust support, sometimes need a middle check-in — we'll tell you upfront.
What if my dress is vintage or a delicate fabric?
Choose "vintage or delicate fabric" in the estimator — we handle these more slowly and price them at the top of the range to account for careful hand-finishing.
Can I book a fitting this week?
Usually yes. Use the booking form below and select your preferred date — we'll confirm the nearest available slot by email.
I bought the dress online — can you still alter it?
Yes. Bring it in as-is; we'll assess the fabric and construction at your first fitting regardless of where it came from.
I'm still not sure what my dress needs.
That's fine — choose "not sure yet" in the estimator or booking form, and bring the dress in. We'll walk through the options with you at the fitting, no charge for the consultation.
