FORMALWEAR ALTERATIONS

At Stitch It, we understand the importance of a perfect fit, especially when it comes to formalwear. Whether you’re preparing for a wedding, attending a gala, or participating in a corporate event, your appearance can make a significant impression.

Here’s why our professional alterations are essential for achieving that impeccable look.

Importance of a Tailored Fit

A tailored suit or dress isn’t just about looking good; it’s about feeling confident and comfortable. Off-the-rack clothing is designed to fit a generic body shape, which hardly anyone fits perfectly. That’s where we come in. By adjusting the length, taking in or letting out seams, and customizing the fit, alterations ensure that your formalwear not only fits but flatters your unique body shape.

What Can Be Altered?

Length Adjustments: Hemming trousers, skirts, or dress lengths to ensure the perfect drape and length can transform an outfit. For men, the trouser break is crucial, while women might focus on the perfect skirt or dress length depending on the type of event and the shoes they plan to wear.
Waist Adjustments: Bringing in or letting out the waistband of trousers or skirts ensures a comfortable fit that doesn’t restrict movement. This adjustment is often needed for both new purchases and existing wardrobe pieces as our body shapes change over time.
Bodice and Sleeve Adjustments: For dresses and shirts, adjusting the bodice for a better fit around the chest and waist, or shortening sleeves to the right length, can make a significant difference in your appearance. These alterations ensure that the clothing complements your posture and body proportions.
Reshaping: This involves more complex adjustments like altering the shoulder seam, changing the silhouette of a garment, or even adding or removing elements like pockets or embellishments.
