Collection and Delivery Service
Once we have completed your alterations, we can hand deliver them back to your home. If you don’t require a fitting and are happy to give us instructions on how you want them altered, we can take care of everything for you.
Trousers and Jeans Shortenings
There are generally three ways to instruct us:
Pin the garment. If it’s shortening the leg, just pin one leg, unless you want them different leg lengths. It’s very common to have one leg bigger than the other.
Provide a measurement in inches or centimetres.
The leg length you require – we recommend against this way as the cut, material or type of footwear impact the length you require. Also, the older we get, the less tall we become!
Trousers and Jean Seat and Waist
Did you know trousers often have around 5 cm (2 inches) extra material in the waistband? The amount varies depending on the brand and original size (larger trousers often have more). A common instruction is to let out as much as possible. Jeans do not have extra material in them; the only way to make them bigger is to add a piece of material. We can try to get a similar colour but it will be noticeable unless you have some spare from another pair, for example, if you bought multiple of the same design. If you don’t need a fitting appointment you can instruct us by:
Pin the garment. If it’s shortening the leg, just pin one leg, unless you want them different leg lengths. It’s very common to have one leg bigger than the other.
Provide a measurement in inches or centimetres.
Provide the waist size you require.
