The care behind a better fit.

Good with clothes.
Even better
with people.

Alter Ego began with Kim and Nicole, a mother and daughter who love making clothes feel right.

Bring your questions, your almost-perfect purchase, or that piece you can’t bear to part with. We’ll look at it together and tell you what’s possible.

Getting started is simple.

  1. Bring it in.

    Visit either shop with your garment. We’ll listen to what you’d like to change.

  2. Make it yours.

    Try it on, talk through the fit and agree on a quote before the work begins.

  3. Take it out again.

    We’ll send you a text when it’s ready to collect. Your wardrobe just got better.
