Coats and jackets after winter
Before putting a coat away for summer, check the zip and the seams at the shoulders — these wear the fastest. If the lining shows through or is coming apart at the seam after a season, it's better to replace it now rather than wait until autumn, when we have more work and less time for urgent requests.
Trousers and skirts for a new season
A change in weight, new shoes, or simply wanting a different length are the most common reasons people bring trousers and skirts in for alterations in spring and autumn. Shortening a straight cut is quick work, and on jeans we're happy to keep the original factory hem.
Evening dresses for special occasions
If you're preparing for a wedding, a ball or another event, bring the dress in for a fitting well in advance — more demanding work, like restyling or a shoulder adjustment, needs time for several fittings.
