The Alterations We Specialise In
Seamstresses have a bag of alteration tricks that can make your wedding dresses, suits and tuxedos, evening gowns and formal dresses, and school uniforms fit both most attractively and most comfortably. The common clothing alterations listed in this post may be just what you need to feel confident, look keepsake photo worthy, and move freely in your clothing. All at the same time!
Wedding Dress Alterations
We do everything you need to have the perfect wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses: hem, bustle, straps, sides, buttons, cups, custom made sleeves & veils, complete bodice reconstruction, dress redesign, and more...
Hem Alterations
Have the hem of your trousers, jeans, skirts, dresses, jackets, and tops shortened, and even returned to their original length.
Fit Alterations
Your garment may not fit like it used to. It's also all too common for a garment to fits us in some places and not fit as well in others. We can work magic here and there and make the garment fit like it was made for you.
Suit Alterations
We can taper suits where needed, adjust lengths and seams, resize trouser waists, adjust crotch length and fit, change cuff style, and give the suit a slim fit.
Beading & Applique
Many wedding dress alterations include removing and reapplying beading & applique to deliver a clean, perfect result. This all needs to be done by hand and as such makes the cost higher, however the polished finish makes it all worth it.
Formal Dress Alterations
We can add gussets to the bodice, take in the sides or back, replace, remove, or move the straps, add or close vents, restyle the dress, and more to give you the perfect look and comfort.
