My costume design background has taught me that the way clothes come from the store is only a starting point. Most clothes can be tweaked to help them fit your body and personal style as though they are custom pieces. By taking something that fits you “just fine” and making small alterations, we can create pieces that are built just for you. This is the best way to make your wardrobe look elevated regardless of your budget and guarantees you look and feel your best.
Because I believe in the importance of custom fitting clothes to your body, fittings and alterations are a big part of what sets Tailor Point Styling apart from other personal styling services. During a Closet Review, or after a shopping trip, I always recommend having a fitting. I want to help you redefine your wardrobe from beginning to end, and don’t want to leave you on your own to find a tailor or have to go in for a one-on-one fitting session with a stranger who hasn’t been part of your style journey. By offering alteration services, Tailor Point Styling is giving its clients a completely transformative style experience.
It’s all about the perfect fit…
In-Home Alterations
-I travel to your home where you try on your clothes so I can fit and mark them for alterations.
-All alterations will be performed by an experienced, professional stitcher.
-I return the altered garments to you at your home and we check the fit to make sure everything is to your liking.
Cost: Fitting session $45/hour (1-hour minimum) plus the cost of alterations and travel fee, if applicable.
Tailor Point Styling offers in-home alteration fittings in the DC metro area both for our clients’ new clothes and for clothes that are already in their closet.
