Fit Specialists

What should you look for in an alteration specialist? Everyone wants to look their best, especially in a newly purchased garment. You bought it for a reason, and you want to wear it right away, but it has some fit issues. It may be too long, too wide, or too tight. Your alterations specialist can handle the first two with ease (most of the time), but a garment that is too tight or too short is a whole new can of worms. When you have those fit issues, call your fit specialist for an appointment so he/she can tell you first of all IF the garment is alterable and what it will look like on your body when it is finished. If you feel comfortable with the way it was pin fit to your body and with the estimate and turn around time, let them do their magic on your garment. But remember, we are fit and alteration specialists, not magicians! When you pick up your garment, feel free to ask to try it on. Make sure to look at the work that was done. Look at the finishing of the seams, inspect the hem...kick the tires, so to speak. The garment should look like nothing had been done to it...it should look like the original. If you are pleased with the fit and the alteration, make sure to let your specialist know that. We mostly do this because we're good at it, but we also have to earn an income as well. When we know that you are pleased, we will bend over backwards to continue to do a good job on other things you bring to us AND will help to get you the appointment and turn around time that is convenient for you. Look good, feel good in custom fit clothes.
