Frequently Asked Questions
What should I bring to my first alteration appointment?
When coming in for your first appointment, it’s best to bring the garment you want altered along with any accessories or items that will impact the final fit, such as shoes, belts, or specific undergarments. These items help us see how the garment sits when styled as you intend to wear it.
If you have any particular look or fit in mind, feel free to bring reference photos to help us understand your vision. Having these details ready allows us to make precise adjustments and work towards the exact look and feel you want for your garment.
How long does the alteration process usually take?
The time required for alterations varies based on the garment type and season. Bridal gowns often take 3-6 weeks due to the intricate designs, layers, and specialty fabrics involved. Men’s suits usually take around 1-2 weeks, while dresses can range from 1-3 weeks. These timelines give us the necessary time for quality work, especially for high-detail garments that need extra care.
During peak seasons like summer, we experience higher demand, which can extend turnaround times. To ensure your garment is ready on schedule, we recommend scheduling your appointment as early as possible and discussing specific deadlines at your initial consultation so we can plan accordingly.
Do I need to book an appointment for alterations?
Yes, we ask clients to book appointments for all alterations to ensure we provide a dedicated, personalized service for each garment. By scheduling in advance, we can set aside enough time to thoroughly examine your garment, discuss your preferences, and offer the best recommendations for achieving your desired outcome.
Walk-in appointments may not guarantee the same focused attention, as we want to provide every client with a thorough consultation and ensure we understand each detail. Booking ahead helps us create a smooth, efficient experience tailored to your needs, so you leave with the perfect fit.
How many fittings will I need for my alterations?
Generally, most alterations require just one follow-up fitting after the initial adjustments to check the garment’s fit and feel. For complex alterations, like those involving substantial resizing or intricate design details, we may recommend a second or even third fitting to refine the fit further.
Each fitting is an essential part of the process, allowing us to assess the garment’s progress and make any necessary tweaks. This approach ensures we reach the best possible fit, whether the adjustments are straightforward or require multiple rounds of fine-tuning.
What types of garments can you alter?
We handle alterations for both men’s and women’s garments, including bridal gowns, New Year’s Eve, galas, formal and other special events wear, and casual clothing. However, we do not work with leather due to the specialized skills and equipment it requires. Our expertise covers various materials, from delicate silks to structured fabrics, ensuring we can adjust each garment with care and accuracy.
If you’re unsure about a particular item or fabric, we invite you to visit our store for a free consultation. This in-person assessment allows us to evaluate the garment directly and discuss any specific needs or limitations, ensuring we can provide you with the best advice and service for your clothing.
What is your policy if I’m not satisfied with the alterations?
Our top priority is achieving a flawless fit that meets your expectations. If the garment doesn’t meet your vision after the alterations, we will continue to work with you to refine the fit until it’s exactly as you want. We believe in quality craftsmanship and are committed to making adjustments until you’re fully satisfied.
Every alteration is an investment in your comfort and confidence, so we stand by our work and are prepared to make any final refinements necessary. Your satisfaction is key, and our team is dedicated to ensuring every client leaves with a garment they love to wear.
Do you provide remote consultations over video or phone for clients who live far?
Unfortunately, we don’t offer remote consultations over video, phone, or images. The only way to assess alterations properly is through an in-person consultation, where we can examine the garment, fit, and details firsthand. That’s why we provide a free consultation to all our clients, ensuring that every alteration is reviewed thoroughly and accurately.
We know that traveling can be challenging, especially with Toronto’s heavy traffic during peak hours, so you are more than welcome to contact us and we’ll do everything possible to arrange an appointment time that fits your schedule and if possible, reduce the need for multiple follow-up visits.
