Four steps to a perfect fit
Consultation
Bring the garment in. We talk through what you want changed and what the fabric will allow.
Free Fitting
You try it on, we pin it precisely. Every measurement is taken on your body, not from a chart.
Expert Tailoring
The work is done by hand in our Fenton Street workroom. Rush service is available when you need it.
Final Try-On
You try it on again before you leave. If anything still isn't right, we fix it on the spot.
