Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing the right tailor depends on their experience and skill in the clothing type you need, whether its formal wear like suits and dresses or casual wear. Check their past work and read customer reviews to understand their work ethic and consistency. Also, ask about their fabric knowledge, hand-stitching skills, and whether they are open to customize designs.
Alteration timelines can be different based upon the type of adjustments needed. Simple fixes like hemming trousers can take 24-48 hours, while resizing a suit or wedding dress may require 4-8 weeks.
If you need rush services, always confirm availability and additional costs before proceeding.
Bringing the right accessories helps ensure the best fit. If altering formal wear, bring the shoes you will wear with the outfit and any undergarments that affect fit, like shapewear or a belt. Also, bring reference images or specific style preferences to communicate clearly with the tailor.
Pricing depends on fabric type, alterations required, and the tailor’s expertise. We recommend comparing prices from multiple tailors and ensure you get a detailed breakdown of costs before agreeing to a service. Avoid tailors who hesitate to explain pricing or charge excessive rush fees without justification
Many tailors offer express services for last-minute alterations, but it depends on their current workload. Expect to pay a premium for rush orders, typically 25-50% more than regular prices. If you need it done in a day, call ahead to confirm availability and ensure they can meet your deadline.
