About: tailor
A tailor hems trousers and skirts, takes in waists, shortens sleeves, replaces zips and alters suits and wedding dresses; some also make clothes to measure. Local tailors are busiest before wedding season and school proms in late spring and summer, so bring formal wear early. Small repairs are usually walk-in, while made-to-measure work needs several fittings.
Frequently asked questions
How quickly can I get trousers hemmed?
Simple hems and zip replacements are often ready within a day or two, sometimes while you wait. In wedding season expect longer turnarounds, so ask when you drop the item off.
What should I bring to a fitting?
Wear or bring the shoes you'll wear with the outfit, since they change the right length. For made-to-measure, bring a photo of the style you want.
Can a tailor let out a dress or suit that's too tight?
Only if there is spare fabric in the seams, which varies a lot between garments. Taking in is almost always easier, so let the tailor check it first.
What affects the price?
The fabric (silk, lace and leather take more care), how much needs changing, whether there's a lining, and how fast you need it back.
Can I explain what I want without speaking the language?
Pinning the new length or showing a photo works well with any tailor. Languages spoken are listed on each profile if you'd rather discuss details.
