Dresses & occasion wear

Fittings & tailoring enquiries

Not sure what adjustment you need? Explain how the garment feels and ask the tailor about a fitting and suitable next steps. Clothing alterations only; no shoe repairs.

Before you visit

Good fit starts
with good details.

Bring the garment, know your deadline and tell us what you’d like to change. For hems, bringing the shoes you plan to wear can help explain your preferred length.

Call ahead to discuss timing. Bring your claim ticket (or a photo of it) for pickup. The shop accepts cash or check; ask about current payment options.

Bring your garment and describe where the fit or length feels different from what you want.
