Sewing & alterations — Kissimmee, Florida
The clothes you already own, made to fit.
Hems, zippers, waistlines, wedding gowns and men's suits — measured, pinned and sewn at the shop on Michigan Ave.
Open Monday to Saturday, 10 AM – 6 PM. Se habla español.
Why alter
A garment that fits is a different garment.
-
Fit is not a size
Off the rack, one measurement lands and the rest are approximate. Altering fixes the ones that missed.
-
It costs less than replacing
A hem or a taken-in waist is a fraction of the price of a new jacket, dress or pair of trousers that was nearly right.
-
Good pieces are worth keeping
The suit with years left in it. The dress from before. A seam is far easier to move than a favorite is to replace.

How it works
Three visits, start to finish
-
Bring the garment in
Wear it, or bring the shoes and the underthings you'll wear it with. Fit is measured on the body, never off the tag.
-
We measure and pin
Chalk, pins and a fitting right at the counter. You see exactly where the garment is going before a single stitch is sewn.
-
Pick it up ready to wear
We'll tell you when it will be ready when you drop it off, and we'll check the fit again with you before it leaves.
