FAQ’s


I have tried to answer some of the questions that arise when people contact me about alterations. Do not hesitate to call, email or Facebook message me with questions about your particular garment.
Yes. From 1/2″ to several inches having the proper hem length puts your best foot forward and actually extends the life of your jeans by not having them drag on the ground. This is also very helpful for those who are on the shorter side of average who cannot find a good length off the rack in stores…like ME! Can you keep the original hem—Yes or I have thread that can get really close!
Yes, “light” tailoring like sleeves or taking in sides. Mens pants no problem. Completely reconstructing a suit jacket or sizing up is not something I am willing to tackle and you are better off going to St Louis to someone like Nordstroms, Macy’s, Mens Warehouse or the like. If you still have questions regarding options feel free to call to make an appointment to see if I might be able to help. 573-701-3243
Of course! Sometimes it is the best way to make sure the fit is accurate. Also bring the shoes you are planning on wearing with that particular pair of pants or dress. The heel size does matter when you are wanting the best length.
Many times alterations, depending on how extensive, can be done in a relatively short amount of time. However, there will be a an additional cost for these jobs. I would suggest making sure you plan in advance and bring your alterations well in advance of the day you need them. I do understand sometimes that isn’t possible and the cost is listed below for rush jobs. Less than 5 days $7.00 + price of alteration Less than 48 hours $10.00 + price of alteration HELP QUICK!
