How long will my alteration or custom design take?
When you have your consultation with Pilar, she will let you know how long she expects your alterations to take. If you need them done by a certain date, let her know so she can factor that in. Simple alterations can be quick, but more complex alterations like a wedding dress can take longer. Custom designs like costumes and prom dresses will also vary depending on the complexity.
Can my dress be made bigger?
Yes, this can usually be done! Every dress is different, but there is usually enough seam allowance to let out a dress by 1 to 3 inches. Pilar will be able to confirm if it is possible once she sees the dress in person or through a photo during a consultation.
Do you alter men’s clothing?
Yes, we tailor and alter all men’s attire, whether it is formal or regular wear. A well-fitted business suit or an extra comfortable jacket can make a world of difference!
How do I book an appointment?
We do not book appointments online but once you reach out to Pilar, she will let you know when you would be able to come in.
