Comprehensive Suit Alteration Services
Hemming and Shortening
Shortening Suit Pant Hems: Suit pants that are too long can look sloppy and unprofessional. Our experts can shorten the hems to the perfect length, ensuring a clean and polished appearance.
Shortening Suit Skirt Hems: For those who wear suit skirts, achieving the right length is crucial. We can adjust the hem to ensure your skirt falls at the most flattering point.
Shortening Suit Jackets: A suit jacket that’s too long can look disproportionate. Our tailors can shorten the jacket to the ideal length, ensuring it complements your body shape.
Shortening Suit Jacket Sleeves: Sleeves that are too long can ruin the look of an otherwise perfect suit. We can shorten the sleeves to the correct length, allowing just the right amount of shirt cuff to show.
Adjustments and Tapering
Tapering Suit Pants: Baggy or ill-fitting pants can detract from the sharpness of your suit. Our tailors can taper your suit pants to provide a sleek, modern fit.
Taking In the Waist: A well-fitted waist is essential for comfort and style. We can take in the waist of your suit pants or skirts to ensure they sit perfectly on your hips.
Taking In Suit Jackets: A suit jacket that fits well through the body is key to a sharp appearance. Our experts can take in the sides and back of the jacket to provide a closer, more tailored fit.
Lifting Suit Jacket Shoulders: Droopy shoulders can make a suit look ill-fitting. We can lift the shoulders to ensure they sit correctly, providing a structured and confident look.
Enhancements and Repairs
Relining Suit Jackets: A worn or damaged lining can affect the comfort and longevity of your suit. We offer relining services to replace old linings, providing a fresh and comfortable interior.
Resizing Suit Jackets: If your suit jacket is too large or too small, we can resize it to better fit your body. This involves adjusting various parts of the jacket to ensure a perfect fit.
Repairing Suit Zips: A broken zip can render a suit unusable. Our tailors can repair or replace suit zips, restoring functionality and ensuring your suit is ready to wear.
Replacing Suit Buttons: Missing or broken buttons can detract from the appearance of your suit. We can replace buttons to match the original style, maintaining the integrity and look of your garment.

Can I Do Suit Alterations Myself?
While it is possible to perform basic suit alterations at home, professional alterations are highly recommended for achieving the best results. Here’s why:
Precision and Skill: Professional tailors have the expertise to perform precise alterations that ensure a perfect fit. They understand the complexities of different fabrics and garment constructions, which is essential for high-quality alterations.
Appropriate Tools: Professional alteration shops are equipped with specialised tools and machines that ensure a flawless finish. Home sewing machines and tools may not handle the intricacies of suit fabrics and structures effectively.
Time Efficiency: Alterations can be time-consuming, especially for those unfamiliar with tailoring techniques. Professionals can complete the work efficiently, saving you time and ensuring the alterations are done correctly.
