What You Should Know About Our Tailoring and Alterations

Let’s Answer Your Alteration Questions

How long do alterations usually take?

Turnaround time depends on the type of alteration. Simple fixes (such as hemming or tapering) can often be ready within a day or two, while complex adjustments may take a little longer. We’ll always give you an estimated completion time when you drop off your item.

Can you work on delicate or specialty fabrics?

Absolutely. Just like our Dry Cleaning Service, we take special care with fabrics such as silk, lace, or formalwear to make sure your alterations look natural.

Do I need to make an appointment for alterations?

Appointments aren't required! You're welcome to walk in any time during business hours. If you prefer a personal fitting or have multiple pieces, you can schedule ahead for added convenience.

What if I’m not satisfied with my alteration?

We stand by our work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If something doesn’t feel right, bring it back and we’ll make it right.

Do you handle specialty pieces like wedding dresses or leather?

Yes. We offer alterations for wedding dresses, formalwear, and other delicate garments, along with repair services for specialty items like leather and suede.
