We have a collective set of skills spanning most genres of clothing from weddings to vintage to jeans and into our specialty of jacketing and suiting. Couturists work on all of these genres of clothing on a daily and weekly basis so your items are always in good hands with us. 

Yes, we have a mixture of designers, Dressmakers and Tailors as part of our team so we have the ability to tackle any design you would like to achieve. Our aim is not only to create a fit that is perfect for you but also to help you express part of your style and personality that may have gone overseen in a previous relationship with your clothing.  

We offer an express/emergency service (please refer to Plus Service) however generally we like to have simple alterations a minimum of a week (drop off this week pick up next Friday). For more speciality items requiring more attention to detail, we generally would like a minimum of a couple of weeks as these take more labour hours to complete at the high standard we aim for. 

Yes, Ideally we like good notice before the occasion as these garments can often require a second and sometimes a third fitting depending on the extent of work required. 

It is very hard to give an accurate figure for common alterations as to the untrained eye some alterations seem simple however can require more work when on the cutting table and machines. Please refer to our standard price list for some general alterations and their costs. We also have an introduction offer for any new client of a free hem.

Yes, this normally will incur a surcharge of 50% for same-day (up to 24hrs) or a surcharge of 25% for a 72hr service.

Depending on the garment we will generally prepare the garment ready for collection unless there is extensive work where fitting is required. If fittings are required then we will quite often prepare the majority of the work completed with a fitting to ensure the garments are fit to perfection before finalising any finishing and closing of the garment.

Appointments are always preferred as we value our customer's time and would like to avoid people waiting for service. At the end of the day we always value your time and support so if an appointment is hard to arrange please do pop in and we will do our best to see you.

It is always best to bring any items (shirt, cufflinks, shoes, bras, undergarments) you would be wearing with the garment to ensure accuracy when measuring and fitting.

We have to take extreme care with beading and embellishments and this in turn generally takes more time. Quite often beading requires the extracting and rereading of beads. We always ask for input from the customer as to how they would like the end product to look and gauge how to treat and alter the garment accordingly. 

Both new and worn garments are treated exactly the same. All garments are treated with the utmost care and consideration. We always take pride in looking after people's garments and every piece is treated like a newborn baby where love and care are at the centre of our interactions. 

Our goal is to ensure every person leaves our workroom overly satisfied with our work and our service. If there are any concerns please do contact us and we will do whatever we can to rectify any unsatisfactory work. 

We offer most payment methods and will be incorporating AFTERPAY and AMEX in the near future.

Care instruction will not differ after a garment is altered. We recommend always aligning the care for your garment with the care instructions that are normally accommodated with your garment. This is normally found on a tag inside the garment or sometimes inside one of the pockets.

We always aim to offer the best service possible and take great care with the garments while in our possession. If there is any unsatisfactory work completed then please do contact us as will will always do as much as we can to make sure the work completed is up to the highest standards possible.
