Common Questions
Frequently Asked
Do I need an appointment?
Walk-ins are welcome during opening hours for everyday alterations. For bridal and complex formal work, we recommend booking ahead so we can give you dedicated one-on-one attention.
How long do alterations take?
Most everyday alterations (hems, buttons, zips) are ready in 3–5 business days. Bridal and formal work typically requires 6–10 weeks with 2–3 fittings. Rush and same-day services are available for an additional fee.
Are these the exact prices?
All prices shown are starting prices. Every garment is different — fabric, construction, and complexity all affect the final quote. We always provide an upfront price after inspecting your garment, before any work begins.
What if I’m not happy with the result?
Your satisfaction matters to us. If something isn’t quite right at pickup, we’ll make adjustments on the spot. We want you to leave happy every time.
Can you alter leather, silk or delicate fabrics?
Yes. Our team has experience with specialty fabrics including leather, silk, satin, lace, and beaded garments. These require extra care and specialist techniques, which is reflected in pricing.
Do you do same-day alterations?
We offer same-day and rush services for simpler alterations depending on our workload. Call ahead or drop in early in the day and we’ll do our best to accommodate you. A surcharge is applied.
