How we handle it
Good alterations start with a good fitting. Wear the shoes you will wear with the pants, or the shirt you will wear under the jacket. Farah pins it on you and writes the plan on your ticket.
Need a fix but no fitting? Bring a pair that fits well and we will match it.

Good to know
Bring the shoes
A hem is only right with the shoes you will wear. Bring them to the fitting.
Clean first, alter second
Some fabrics shrink a little the first time. If it needs both, we clean it before we cut.
Common questions
Do I need an appointment for a fitting?
No. Walk in during tailor hours. Saturdays are busy, so weekday mornings are quickest.
Can you alter something I did not buy here?
Yes. We alter clothes from anywhere, as long as the fabric allows it. Farah will tell you if a change is not worth the money.
What customers say
“Farah hemmed three pairs of work pants and took in a jacket. She asked me to bring my shoes, which nobody has ever done. Everything fits.”
