Tailoring & Alterations

When it comes to how well you look in your clothing, a good fit makes all the difference. Our in-house tailoring department provides repairs, restyles, and clothing alteration services for your work apparel, wedding and formal wear.

We can pin, mark, and measure clothing for men, women and children for clothing alterations of new, used and vintage garments. We can alter kids’ clothes for the next sibling, to bring a treasured garment back into rotation, and to restore or resize garments as your body and style changes.
