Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I schedule my bridal alterations?

It's recommended to start the bridal alterations process at least 2-3 months before the wedding. This allows time for multiple fittings and any necessary adjustments.
What is made-to-measure kidswear?

Made-to-measure kidswear is clothing designed and sewn to fit a specific child's measurements rather than conforming to standard sizes. This can provide a better fit, especially for kids who fall between standard-size categories.
Can made-to-measure kidswear be adjusted as my child grows?

Some made-to-measure garments can be made with growth in mind, incorporating elements like adjustable waistbands or longer hemlines that can be let down. However, major changes may require new garments as your child grows significantly.
How can I ensure the longevity of my altered or repaired clothes?

To ensure the longevity of your altered or repaired clothes, follow the care instructions provided by your tailor or seamstress. This often includes gentle washing, avoiding harsh chemicals and proper storage methods.
