LADIE'S ALTERATION
Ladies’ Alteration Intro
PersTailors recognise that bespoke Alteration tailoring for ladies needs to take into account the distinct differences in fit, feel and look from Men’s Tailoring, as well as a differing approach.
We work extensively with our female clientele across London whose existing garments may no longer fit due to weight loss or when they have existing items which fit perfectly in some areas but not others. In addition to this, we work with garments where only certain elements need adjusting to make a perfect, rather than just suitable, for a given occasion.
​
PersTailors’ expertise in women’s tailoring and alterations will craft your clothes and the end result will be an elegant silhouette and flawless finish, empowering our female clients to confidently step out in style wearing perfectly formed and beautifully fitted garments which are flattering to the figure.
Dress Alterations
Dresses can be altered to perfection at PersTailors. You can trust us with any type of alteration from a basic shortening of the hem or tailoring of a simple work dress, to more complicated customisations on a diverse range of fabrics including dresses which are embellished, beaded or sequinned.
In addition to dress alterations, your dress can take on a new lease of life as a totally different and unique garment through the process of restyling. This is the ultimate way to allow your personality to be expressed via your clothes and create something extremely special, just for you.
Whatever your requirements, our highly trained tailors and seamstresses will work on your garments to ensure that they fit you beautifully.

Per Tailors have significant experience in gown alteration.

COAT
Your coat can be altered by one of PersTailors’ expert Master Tailors to achieve an absolutely perfect fit.
Obtaining a more flattering fit can be achieved by taking in the correct seams. This can alter the shape of your coat and the way that it fits you significantly.
PersTailors can shorten sleeve lengths, ensuring that the original stitch pattern, thread colour and other detail unique to the coat are perfectly matched.
For a neater fit, the shoulders of your jacket can be narrowed or, alternatively, pads can be added to define the shoulders. Other techniques can also be deployed to create a dropped shoulder look.
Re-lining coats is one of PersTailors’ areas of expertise; worn linings can be replaced with fabric of a similar colour or, for a total refresh of the garment, we can change this to one of your choice. The addition of pockets or other details are possible and, of course, zip replacement or buttons are basic alterations that we are happy to carry out.
Blouse
PersTailors are experts in altering and restyling blouses for our London based clients. If you are unhappy with the general fit of a blouse there are a number of options available to remedy this. Sizing can be reduced or increased quickly and efficiently by simply adjusting seams.
Shortening or tapering (narrowing) of blouse sleeves can easily be carried out. In addition, blouses can be narrowed at different points, such as the waist hips or chest. Excess fabric which can be irritating, and also unflattering to your figure, can easily be removed.
We can work on any type of fabric from delicate lace to sequin, embellished fabric and other materials that are delicate or not easy to alter.
Our meticulous tailoring will ensure that your blouse fits perfectly and compliments your figure.

SKIRT
Skirt sizing can be easily and quickly reduced or increased if your skirt is too loose or tight on the waist or hips. This is done by simply – but skilfully - adjusting the side seams or the centre back seam. We can carry out a fitting where the aim of the consultation is to establish what kind of shaping needs to happen to ensure the perfect fit for your body shape. We taper (narrow) skirts either fully or partly and this helps to create a flawless silhouette. Excess fabric is taken from inside seams result in a subtle taper and any type of hem can be shortened, regardless of whether your skirt has one or multiple layers - the original design is always kept intact.

JEANS
PersTailors have an expert specialism in Jeans Alterations and Denim Alterations. The majority of Jeans and Denim garments do, unfortunately, stretch when they have been worn multiple times and can often become “baggy” and loose the fit they had when originally purchased. Our talented tailors and seamstresses can remedy this by carrying out excellent alterations on any type of denim.
PersTailors will discuss and confirm the type of fit you are looking for and how this will compliment your body type and then commence the alteration process to result in a perfectly fitting paid of jeans.
The PersTailors team can carry out simple alterations like hem shortening or more involved alterations like tapering (narrowing) the leg, changing the rise of your jeans, lowering the waistband, taking in or letting out the waist, or completely changing the cut of your jeans. Whatever the alteration is, rest assured that we will ensure that any original stitching and thread colour perfectly matched and you will walk away with (or in!) a beautifully fitting pair of jeans.
