How We Work
What does a visit look like?
•For formal, bridal, or more than 2-3 General Alteration items please make an appointment, usually available same week! This will allow us to make you a priority over walk-ins.
•Upon your arrival you will be shown into a dressing room. You can change into your first item and head out to the pedestal (or we can meet you in the dressing room). If you do not need a fitting room, we will discuss your items at the front counter.
•We will review the fit of your garment(s), note what changes are needed, write up a ticket/estimate, and present that to you for approval. You will have final approval of what alterations or repairs should be made based upon your wishes and budget.
•Based upon your choices, alterations will be completed in the agreed upon time frame.
•You will receive a text (or call if needed) requesting fittings or alerting you that your items are completed.
•You can come in and pick up your items anytime during our regular business hours!
