As prom season and graduation day approach, it’s important that you look and feel your best on those important days! Whether you’re a student or a parent, there’s a lot to make sure looks just right: dresses, suits and tuxedos, and of course making unforgettable memories. Stitch It is here to help take your outfits to the next level, ensuring the best fit and feel during prom and graduation!
At Stitch It, we understand how much work goes into finding the perfect outfit for these big events, and we want to make sure that the time and effort you spend is worth it. From minor tweaks to major adjustments, we provide expert tailoring to make sure everything fits the way you want it to. But we don’t just do alterations. Once the celebration is over, our professional dry cleaning services will leave your outfit looking fresh and pristine, ready to be cherished for years to come.
Why Alterations Matter
Perfecting your prom dress or graduation attire isn’t just about looking good—it’s about feeling confident and comfortable. Ill-fitting clothes can lead to awkward moments, whether it’s tugging at a hem, adjusting straps, or feeling like you’re constantly adjusting your waistband.
When you bring your dress, suit, or tuxedo to us, we’ll work with you to ensure a perfect fit. Whether it’s hemming a gown, taking in or letting out seams, adjusting sleeves, or fine-tuning the fit around your waist, our experienced tailors will make sure every detail is taken care of. We know that the difference between an outfit that’s “good enough” and one that truly fits you like a second skin is in the alterations.
Common Prom and Graduation Alterations
For Prom Dresses:
- Pant Hemming: We want to make sure that your pants fit how they’re supposed to and are the correct length. You don’t want pants that are too baggy or too short on your prom or graduation night.
- Dress Hemming: Whether you’re wearing high heels or flats, we’ll shorten or lengthen your gown to the ideal length.
- Taking In/Letting Out: Dresses often need a little tweaking around the bust, waist, or hips to ensure the best fit.
- Strap Adjustments: Dress straps may need to be shortened or lengthened to prevent uncomfortable slipping or pinching.
- Suit Tailoring: Jackets, pants, and shirts all need to fit your frame perfectly for that sharp, professional look. We can adjust shoulders, sleeves, waistlines, and inseams to make sure your suit is tailored just for you.
- Shirt Sleeves & Collar Adjustments: We can lengthen sleeves for a more comfortable fit or adjusting the collar to sit just right.
- Graduation Gowns: Gowns often need to be hemmed to the right length and adjusted around the shoulders. We can take care of any necessary alterations, so you look polished as you walk across the stage.
