POLICIES AND HELPFUL TIPS


CLOTHING IMPERFECTIONS

Some clothes are made in factories overseas and finished with many imperfections and sizing errors. We are here to improve the fit. Imperfections may become more noticeable once the alterations are completed and the garment is on your body.

FITTINGS

Alterations are a cause and effect process: Fitting are usually necessary and are part of an alteration process to get the best results for a well-fitting garment. We do not charge extra for additional fitting or feel we need to discount the price for extra fittings that are needed to improve how the garment fits you. Business and casual wear may require 1-3 additional fittings. Wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses can require 3 + additional fitting.

ESTIMATES

If we don´t give you a price before you leave, please ask us. It is important you know the cost of your alterations before we begin work. If we are unable to provide an estimate before you leave, please give us your email address and we will email or text the estimate price breakdown to you.

GARMENT VALUE

Alterations can cost more than the cost of a garment. The cost of the garment does not determine the cost of the alterations. Please make sure the garment is of value to you. Our estimates are based on the alteration work required, not the retail value of a garment.

PICK-UP

You have 30 days to pick up your garments from the date of drop off. After 30 days should your garment need additional alterations, the price will be adjusted accordingly. We will not be responsible for clothes left after 30 days. After 30 days, the item(s) will be donated to charity.

WEDDING DRESS AND BRIDESMAID DRESS FITTINGS

Wedding Gowns and Bridesmaid Dresses.
Please make sure to bring the shoes or similar heels you will be wearing, along with undergarments such as a bra or body smoothing piece for you fitting.

ALTERATIONS REVISIONS

Once we receive your approval to begin the alterations, your job will be added to our schedule. If at a later time you wish to have the alteration reserved, you will still be held responsible for payment for the initial alteration and any additional alterations requested.
