What we can help with
Shirt shape and darts
Take in the sides or discuss darts for a closer fit through the body. We check comfort when sitting and moving as well as how the shirt looks standing up.
Sleeves and length
Shorten sleeves or the body while considering cuffs, buttons and the existing hem shape. Lengthening needs enough usable fabric inside the garment.
T-shirts and casual tops
Discuss loose sides, wide sleeves, a long hem or a neckline change. Stretch fabrics need a finish suited to how the garment moves.
Collars, cuffs and details
Bring worn cuffs, loose buttons or damaged pockets for assessment. Replacement fabric or components may be needed for some repairs.
How much does it cost?
Cuff construction, fabric stretch, darts, buttons and the number of changes determine the quote.
We assess the item and explain the price before you leave it with us. If you are comparing options, bring the garment in for a quote based on the actual work required.
Your questions
Can a shirt be made slimmer?
We can assess side seams, darts and sleeves. A fitting helps establish a comfortable shape without pulling at the buttons.
Can you lengthen shirt sleeves?
It depends on the fabric available and cuff construction. We will explain whether the existing sleeve can be extended.
How long will the work take?
Timing depends on the item, work involved and current workload. Tell us your deadline when you enquire; the shop will confirm availability and any express surcharge before you proceed.
