Frequently Asked Questions

Most standard alterations — hemming, waist adjustments, taking in or letting out seams — are completed within 3–5 business days at our Antelope studio. Complex structural work may take 7–10 days. We also offer a guaranteed 48-hour rush option for an additional fee.

We alter virtually every garment type: trousers, jeans, dresses, skirts, jackets, blazers, coats, shirts, blouses, suits, uniforms, and outerwear. We also specialize in difficult fabrics including leather, suede, fur, silk, and chiffon.

Standard hems start at $25, waist adjustments from $45, jacket sleeves from $65, and zipper replacements from $35. Prices vary based on garment type and complexity. We offer a free in-person assessment before any work begins.

Yes — we have specialized industrial sewing equipment designed for leather, suede, fur, and delicate fabrics. These materials require different needles, thread, and techniques. Our master tailor has over 12 years of experience with luxury materials.

Walk-ins are welcome during our business hours (Monday–Friday 8am–4pm, Saturday 9am–5pm). No appointment is needed for standard work. We'll assess your garment, discuss the alterations, and provide a quote on the spot.

Absolutely. Resizing is one of the most common reasons clients visit us. We can take in or let out seams, adjust waistbands, reshape dresses, and modify most garments to match your current body. It's often more cost-effective than buying new clothing.

Yes — garment repair is a major part of our work. We replace zippers on jackets, pants, dresses, and bags; repair torn seams; replace buttons; reline coats; and patch holes. If the garment has value — sentimental or monetary — we'll do everything we can to restore it.

Bring the garment(s) you want altered, plus the shoes you plan to wear with them (critical for accurate hem length). If you have a reference photo of the fit you want, that's helpful too. Wear appropriate undergarments for dress or formalwear fittings.
