Frequently asked questions
Common questions
Clear answers for alterations, redesign, and upcycling projects.
How does a garment redesign project start?
For redesign projects, we first review the garment, fabric, and desired result, then provide a concept and quote before any work begins.
Can I get a final price before the fitting?
No. The final price depends on the garment construction, fabric condition, and requested fit after inspection.
When can I book an appointment?
Appointment times are available Monday to Friday by appointment from 09:00 to 19:00, with Saturday visits by appointment.
Do you work with vintage or sentimental clothing?
Yes. We work with vintage pieces, sentimental garments, and fabric-reuse projects, while keeping the existing material and its limits in mind.
Is a final check included when I collect the garment?
Yes. We can review the finished garment at collection and handle a small final adjustment if needed.
If you do not see your project covered here, send an inquiry and tell us what garment you want to remodell or alter. We will let you know what can be assessed in person.
