What we can help with
Pants and jeans
Pin the length with your usual shoes and choose the trouser break or jeans finish. Original-hem preservation may be suitable for some denim.
Dresses and skirts
We check the desired length on you, considering lining, pleats, layers and decorative borders before shortening.
Jacket sleeves and body
Sleeves and jacket length need assessment around buttonholes, vents and pockets. Some changes are more involved than a simple hem.
Choosing the finish
The edge should suit the garment. Our hemming guide explains regular, blind, rolled and other finishes so you can discuss your preference.
How much does it cost?
The garment, hem width, layers, lining and details that need moving determine the price.
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
Is taking up the same as hemming?
Taking up describes making a garment shorter. Hemming describes finishing its edge; the terms are often used together.
Can you shorten it while I wait?
Call the shop with the garment and deadline. Express availability and any surcharge are confirmed by the team.
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.
