How it works
Walk in. Get fitted. Pick it up.
No appointment needed. Bring the garment and the shoes you'll wear with it, and we'll take it from there.
Fitting
Try it on in front of the three-way mirror. We pin and measure while you're there so the fit is right the first time.
Tailoring
Your piece is altered by hand and machine with seams matched to the original construction.
Press & final check
Every piece is pressed before pickup. Try it on again, and if anything needs a touch more, we adjust it.
