One of our customers mentioned that he had an expensive dress shirt that was not fitting the same as when he bought it. He asked if dress shirts can be altered.
The answer is yes! Our tailors alter dress shirts to look like they were custom designed. Alterations save time and money, and keep you looking your best. Keep in mind that even though you wear a specific size, every body is unique and garment manufacturers design and produce clothing differently. As a result, new shirts don’t always fit perfectly. Altering a dress shirt gives you custom fit that is comfortable and stylish.
What Can Be Altered on a Dress Shirt?
Most people don’t realize how much is possible in terms of alterations or understand that it is a very affordable solution. Whether you need to slight adjustments made to a new dress shirt, or want to overhaul an old favorite sitting in the back of your closet, it’s important that you know what can be changed. Here are a few of the alterations our tailors can make for you:
- Shorten sleeves
- Adjust or replace cuffs and collars – when replacing, keep in mind that matching the original fabric is fairly impossible
- Take in a billowy dress shirt for a slimmer fit
- Adjust the torso length can be adjusted
- Replace broken or missing buttons
