Process & Policies

  • Please be sure to wash items before alterations or mending. An additional $5 will be charged for each unwashed item. If you're concerned about further damaging your item just try your best  to spot clean any particularly dirty areas. If your items has moth damage please either clean it, store it in your freezer for 72 hours or place in a very low oven (at least 120 degrees F). This will kill any moth larvae or eggs so none are transferred to other people's items.

  • Typical lead time is two to three weeks, depending on my current workload. I will provide an estimated completion date at the time of your drop-off and I will email you when it's complete.

  • Payment to be made when you pick up your item. Cash, check or credit card are accepted.

  • Please contact me if you are unsatisfied with your service in any way. We can discuss options on how best to resolve the issue.
