Dresses.
A dress that fits everywhere except one place is the most common thing we see, and it is almost always the easiest to solve.
Walk-ins welcome. 3801 Kirby Dr, Upper Kirby. Doing this since 1998.
Fitted, not just shortened.
Most dress alterations that go wrong go wrong because somebody treated the dress as a hem with fabric attached. A dress hangs from the shoulders and fits or fails at the bust, the waist, and the hip, in that order. We fit the dress as a whole, then cut.
Formalwear, professional attire, and the dress you bought because you loved it and hoped it would fit. Womenswear gets the same bench and the same hands as everything else in the shop.
| Straps and shoulders | Shortened, moved, rebuilt |
| Bust and side seams | Taken in or let out |
| Waist | Taken in |
| Hem | And the length |
| Zippers | Replaced |

Bring it in. We will tell you.
It depends on the garment and what it needs, and we would rather look at it than guess at it over the phone.
We will tell you what it needs, what it will cost, and when it will be ready. If it is not worth doing, we will tell you that too, and we will not charge you for the opinion.
