Tailoring & Clothing Alterations in Gauteng

Alterations that actually fit

Hemming trousers, taking in waists, shortening sleeves, adjusting shoulders, reshaping dresses and resizing jackets. We measure on the body rather than off a size label, and where a garment needs more than one adjustment we tell you what is worth doing and what is not.

• Suit and jacket alterations
• Dress and formalwear fitting
• Trouser and skirt hemming
• Waist, sleeve and shoulder adjustments

Clothing repairs

Zip replacements, split seams, torn linings, worn pockets, button and fastening replacement and reinforcement of high-stress points. Repairing a good garment is almost always cheaper than replacing it, and turnaround is usually a matter of days.

School uniforms

Uniform work is seasonal and we plan for it. We take up and let down hems as children grow, resize blazers and tunics, repair damaged uniforms mid-term and produce uniform items in batches where a school or parent group needs them.

Corporate clothing and workwear

For businesses we handle staff shirt and trouser resizing, hemming and repair, plus batch production of simple uniform items. Garments are prepared so they are ready for embroidery or printing if you are branding them elsewhere.

• Staff uniform resizing and hemming
• Bulk repair and refresh runs
• Batch production of simple uniform garments
• Garments prepared for branding

Custom clothing

Custom pieces made to your measurements, from traditional and occasion wear to straightforward everyday garments. We talk through fabric, fit and timing before starting so expectations are set at the beginning rather than at the fitting.

Curtains and home textiles

Curtain shortening, lengthening, relining and re-heading, plus cushion covers and simple soft furnishing repairs. Bring the rail measurement and drop and we will advise on what the existing fabric allows.
