Preparing for Your Visit to Stitches Tailor Shop

dress fitting
  1. Bring Your Accessories: To achieve the most accurate fit, wear the shoes, heels, belts, underclothing, and any other accompanying items that you plan to pair with the outfit. This helps us measure you precisely.
  2. Appointments for Special Cases: If you’re dealing with wedding dresses, group fittings, or intricate items, consider booking an appointment in advance. Complex alterations may require multiple fittings, so planning ahead ensures we have ample time to perfect your outfit.
  3. Visit Well Before the Event: For significant occasions, visit us well ahead of time. This allows us to make adjustments gradually and ensures your outfit fits flawlessly.
  4. Wash and Preshrink New Clothing: If you’re altering new clothing, wash and preshrink it before bringing it in. This not only ensures hygiene but also allows the fabric to settle into its long-term size and shape.
  5. Stand Naturally During Fittings: When you’re at the fitting, stand naturally with a straight posture and face forward. Different positions can affect how the clothing drapes on your body.
  6. Marking Your Clothing: If you’re marking your own clothing for alterations, do so while standing naturally and facing forward. Alternatively, have someone else make the markings for you.

Remember, clothing alterations are about more than just measurements; they’re an art form that enhances your style and confidence. So embrace the process, and let’s make your outfit shine! 👗✂️
