Usually included

  • A fitting where the sewer pins the garment while you wear it
  • Hems on pants, skirts, dresses and curtains
  • Taking in or letting out seams where the fabric allows
  • Replacing zippers, buttons and snaps
  • Patching, darning and repairing torn seams

Ask before you hire

  1. Will you need a fitting, and should you bring the shoes you'll wear with it?
  2. What date do you need it back, and is there an event tied to it?
  3. Is there enough fabric in the seams to let it out, or can it only be taken in?

Questions people ask

Can a dress be made bigger?

Sometimes, if there is extra fabric tucked inside the seams. The sewer will need to look inside the garment before saying yes.

Do I need to be there for a hem?

For pants and dresses a fitting gives the cleanest result, so wear the shoes you'll use. A simple repair like a button or a split seam can usually just be dropped off.

Can a neighbor alter a wedding dress?

Some can, but gowns with lace, beading or many layers take experience. Ask to see photos of formal wear they've altered, and leave plenty of time before the date.
