About Us
Tailors can specialize in alterations or in sewing custom garments. Those who do alterations ensure that clothes fit customers properly. They make changes to garments, such as hemming pants to make them shorter or taking in seams to make clothing smaller.
Some specialize in a certain type of garment, such as custom made men's suits. Others specialize in a particular type of material, such as fur. Fur tailors may restyle older clothing, add a fur collar to a coat or a dress, or sew the inner lining of a garment to the inside of fur skin by hand.
Some tailors work with designers or customers to create new garments. They take orders from customers and help them select fabric and colours. When working with a designer, tailors help translate designs into finished pieces of clothing. For example, a tailor may work with a fashion designer and hand sewer to create exclusive custom-fitted clothing
