Why Alterations Matter?
Everyone's body is unique, and off-the-rack clothes often don't fit perfectly. Tailoring adjusts the fit to your exact measurements, ensuring comfort, enhancing appearance, and boosting confidence.
Perfect Fit and Comfort
Alterations allow you to transform outdated garments into trendy pieces or customize new clothes to make a personal style statement. It’s an excellent way to have a unique wardrobe that stands out.
Express Your Style
Altering clothes can be far more cost-effective than buying new outfits. By adjusting items you already own, you can keep your favourite pieces in rotation for years, reducing the need to shop for new clothes.
Economy of Fashion
Clothing alterations contribute to environmental sustainability by extending the life of garments. This practice decreases waste and the demand for new resources, helping you maintain a greener wardrobe.
Embrace Sustainability
Heritage and Sentimental Value
Many of us hold on to clothes because of the memories they carry. Alterations can modernize and preserve these garments, allowing you to cherish them for many more years.
Regular alterations and repairs protect your investment in quality clothing, maintaining their good condition and extending their usability.

"This lovely gentleman hasn’t reviewed us (yet) but he like us enough to come back twice (and was so kind to take a picture with our seamstress!)"
Erene S.
At Alter Ego, every stitch tells a story of transformation and tradition. With a combined experience pool of 27 years, our mother-daughter team has been passionately reshaping the way people see and feel in their clothes.
The matriarch of Alter Ego, Kim, brings over two decades of expert needlework, while her daughter, Nicole, adds a modern touch with her seven years of innovative techniques. Together, they infuse each garment with care and precision, believing that the right fit not only enhances the clothes but also elevates the wearer's confidence and persona.
Their craft is an art form, one that turns your attire into a declaration of your distinct identity—truly, your 'Alter Ego’.
