Understanding Body Measurements

Accurate measurements are the foundation of perfect fit. We take comprehensive measurements including chest, waist, hips, inseam, and shoulder width to create your unique fitting profile. Understanding these key dimensions helps us recommend the most effective alterations for your body type and ensures consistent results across all your garments.

Waist suppression techniques

Waist Suppression Services

Taking in the waist creates a more defined silhouette on jackets, dresses, and pants. We carefully adjust side seams and center back seams to reduce excess fabric while maintaining proper garment balance. This alteration is particularly effective for creating hourglass shapes in dresses and achieving the sleek, tailored look in suits and blazers.

Shoulder Fitting and Adjustments

Proper shoulder fit is crucial for professional appearance and comfort. We can narrow or widen shoulders on jackets and coats, adjust shoulder pad placement, and modify sleeve caps for smooth draping. Well-fitted shoulders eliminate bunching fabric and create clean lines that make garments look custom-made rather than altered.

Sleeve length and width alterations

Sleeve Length and Width

Sleeve alterations dramatically improve garment fit and comfort. We adjust sleeve length from the shoulder or cuff, depending on the design and your needs. For sleeves that feel tight or baggy, we can modify the width through the bicep and forearm areas. Proper sleeve fit allows full range of motion without excess fabric bunching.

Dart placement and adjustments

Custom Dart Placement

Strategic dart placement shapes garments to follow your natural contours. We can add, move, or adjust darts on dresses, blouses, and jackets to enhance fit through the bust, waist, and shoulders. Properly positioned darts eliminate pulling and gaping while creating flattering silhouettes that complement your unique proportions.

Tapering pants and trousers

Pants Tapering Services

Tapering creates a modern, streamlined leg shape from hip to ankle. We narrow the leg opening while maintaining proper proportions through the thigh and knee. This popular alteration updates the look of older pants and ensures off-the-rack trousers fit your leg shape. Tapering works for dress pants, jeans, and casual trousers alike.

Bodice fitting adjustments

Bodice Fitting Excellence

Perfect bodice fit eliminates gaping necklines and ensures smooth fabric drape across the bust and torso. We adjust seams, reshape bust areas, and modify closures to create comfortable, secure fits in dresses and tops. Our techniques accommodate different bust sizes and shapes while maintaining the garment's original design aesthetic and structural integrity.
