Clothing Alterations
Alteration Types
Every garment is assessed individually to achieve the best possible fit and finish. Prices below serve as a guide and may vary depending on garment construction, fabric, lining, detailing, and complexity.
Length Adjustment
from
S$15.80 – 40.80
Shorten or lengthen a garment so it falls exactly where it should. We reinstate the original hem* wherever possible to keep the same look.
Waist Adjustment
from
S$14.80 – 36.80
Take in or let out the waist for a cleaner fit through the midsection. Works across most waistband constructions — including waistbands with belt loops, invisible zips, and hook-and-bar closures. Useful when a garment fits well everywhere except the waist.
Silhouette Refinement
from
S$12.80 – 38.80
Works in both directions: taking in a relaxed cut for a more fitted look, or letting out darts where a garment is too tight through the body. Done gradually so it looks natural.
Armhole & Neckline Reshaping
from
S$12.80 – 34.80
Raise or lower an armhole or neckline to improve coverage, comfort, or fit. Common for dresses and tops where the standard cut sits too low or restricts movement. Every adjustment is different — sometimes it's worked from the shoulder, sometimes from the armhole, depending on how the garment falls on the body.
Bespoke Adjustments
from
Quoted Individually
For redesigns, reconstruction work, occasionwear adjustments, and garments requiring extensive reshaping or custom modification.
Repairs & Restoration
from
S$5.80
Quick fixes that restore a garment to wearable condition — holes, burst seams, broken zips, worn elastics, missing buttons, and loose fasteners.
