The Approach
What this service includes

- In-person evaluation
- We review the garment on you and discuss what is bothering you about the current fit.
- Fit, balance, and comfort
- Waist, shoulders, length, and drape are considered together so the garment feels natural to wear.
- Honest recommendations
- We explain what can be adjusted well, and where a change would compromise the garment.

What should I bring to a fitting?
