What We Do
Fit is everything. It informs the way we look and feel in our clothes.
I offer a range of services with the goal of making you feel comfortable and confident in your clothing including but not limited to: Alterations, Bridal/Formal, Custom, Repair, Shoe Dyeing and Painting, and Tailoring. I aim to make everyone who comes into my shop feel confident, comfortable, and seen in their clothes regardless of size, age, gender identity, or ability.
Moving a hem, shortening the sleeves, or making adjustments to the body of a garment to play up or play down physical features all can make a huge impact on the look and feel of a piece. There is nothing wrong with your body. It is the clothes, and it is my joy to be able to make your vision a reality. I can repair your favorite jeans with visible or invisible patches, covering moth holes in a loved sweater through darning or visible mending techniques, or replace a jacket lining that has seen better days. Through repair services I hope to promote fashion sustainability and keep you loving your favorite items longer. I aim to always work with my clients to actualize what their goals are with every garment and every repair. Custom work is no different. I love working with people to help bring their dreams to life.
