Services

Alterations, repairs,
and a proper fit.

Every garment gets a quick fitting and an honest price before any pins go in. Not sure what your piece needs? Bring it by or call (972) 234-8943 and describe it — we'll tell you straight.

Hemming & Everyday Alterations

The bread and butter — pants, jeans, skirts, and dresses hemmed and taken in to fit you properly. Original-hem finish on denim so it looks factory, blind hems on dress slacks so no stitch shows.

  • ✓ Pants, jeans, skirts & dress hems
  • ✓ Waist take-in, taper, and sleeve length
  • ✓ Quick fitting and price before we start

Suits & Formalwear

A suit only looks sharp when it fits the shoulders. We take jackets in at the waist and back, shorten and slim the sleeves, and taper trousers — on new suits, tuxedos, and hand-me-downs alike.

  • ✓ Jacket take-in, sleeve & shoulder work
  • ✓ Trouser taper, hem & waist adjustment
  • ✓ Tuxedos and dress shirts welcome

Wedding & Bridal

The dress has to be right — no second chances. We fit gowns, bridesmaids, and mother-of-the-bride dresses with patience and precision, from bustles and take-ins to full hemline reworks.

  • ✓ Bridal gowns, bustles & hem work
  • ✓ Bridesmaid & special-occasion dresses
  • ✓ Book ahead — ready before the date

Repairs, Zippers & Restyling

The fixes that rescue a favorite piece — a new zipper in a jacket or boot, a re-sewn seam, a patched lining, a replaced button. And when you want a garment reworked, we restyle and resize too.

  • ✓ Zipper replacement, seams & buttons
  • ✓ Leather & heavy-garment work
  • ✓ Restyling and full resizing

Common questions

Asked and answered.

Do I need an appointment?
Not for everyday alterations — just walk in during shop hours (Tue–Sat, 10–4) and we'll fit you on the spot. For bridal and larger jobs, it's best to call ahead at (972) 234-8943 so we can set aside the time.
How long will my alterations take?
Most everyday hems and take-ins are ready in a few days. Suits and bridal take a little longer, especially in busy prom and wedding seasons — we'll give you a firm pickup date at your fitting.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the garment and the work, so we quote every piece up front at the fitting — no surprises when you pick up. Simple hems are our most affordable service; suits and bridal are priced by the job.
What if the fit still isn't right?
Try everything on before you leave the shop. If a hem or seam needs adjusting, we take care of it right there — a fit you're happy with is the whole point.

Bring your piece by the shop.

A quick fitting, an honest price, and a fit worth coming back for.
