Shortening Services for Formal and Casual Wear

Form flattering formal and casual attire should look elegant and perfectly tailored. However, when shopping off the rack, finding the ideal length for your body shape can be challenging.

The good news is that you can choose the style you love and have it expertly tailored at Alter It to achieve the perfect fit.

We recognise the distinct differences in alterations needed based on fabric, cut, and style between formalwear and casual outfits. What designs look polished and sophisticated on formal trousers might feel out of place on casual denim. That’s why it’s essential to trust experienced tailors who know how to achieve the ideal length for every garment, ensuring both comfort and style for any occasion.

Shorten Without Losing your Original Finish

At Alter It, we pay attention to the finest detail and put great care when shortening pieces to keep the original look and style, including all hems, stitching, and distinct design elements that make your piece unique.

Whether you love the raw edge of your casual denim or the sleek finish of your formal trousers, we’ll preserve the look while improving the fit so that you can’t tell it’s off the rack.

Special Techniques for Shortening Delicate Fabrics

Shortening fabrics such as silk, lace, and lightweight materials such as chiffon dresses require spot-on precision and expertise. Our stylist tailors use specialised techniques like hand-stitching and hemming to ensure the fabrics are well-protected from tears and treated with care.

Let’s breathe new life into your delicate pieces by achieving your desired length while maintaining their durability, be it a pair of silk pants, trousers, or garments with special lace detailing. Our seamstresses, dressmakers, and tailors are adequately trained in handling fragile pieces and can guarantee a flawless result that boosts your confidence and overall appearance with a tailor-fitted piece.
