Adjustments

Perfect alterations for your favorite pieces

Do you have a closet full of great clothes that just don't fit? No problem! We'll make it fit. Schedule an appointment , and together we'll bring new life into your wardrobe.

Are your trousers too long, or does your jacket or blazer not fit properly? I'm happy to tailor your clothing to your exact measurements. Both men's and women's clothing are in good hands with me. I also professionally mend holes and replace broken zippers.
