Welcome to Alterations by Amy Pinto

Amy is a designer, stitcher, and tailor based in Upper Manhattan with a passion for finding creative ways to make your clothes work for you.

Who amongst us doesn’t have a pile of clothes in our closet that we don’t wear, because they’re just not quite right? Amy is happy to fit your clothes to you perfectly, make changes to garments that don’t sit right, replace buttons or zippers, and repair tears and holes. If you’re not sure why you don’t love the clothes you own, worry not! She can give you a consultation to get to the bottom of the “why doesn't this look right on me?” question.

Amy got her start in clothing construction and alterations working as a costumer for theater. She attended Emerson College in Boston, MA where she graduated with her BFA in Costume Design & Technology. She’s built costumes for Broadway, national tours, regional theater, and professional dance productions and worked as a designer and assistant designer for Off Broadway, regional, and educational theater. Now she’s bringing her expertise to you, because everyone deserves clothes they feel confident in!
