Consultation and Fitting — In Studio
Bring your items to Amy’s studio, located in Hamilton Heights, for a free personalized fitting. A quote will be provided at the end of the fitting, and a 50% deposit is due at that time. Remaining 50% is due upon completion of work. Book a 30 minute fitting for 1-4 items, and a 60 minute fitting for 5+ items.
Consultation and Fitting — In Home
Home fittings are a perfect option for those seeking alterations on a large number of items or formal wear. Like an in-studio fitting, a quote will be provided at the end of the fitting, and payment is due at that time. An additional travel fee of $5/mile will be charged if located above 190th Street or below 110th Street. Minimum order of $150. Please reach out on the contact page to schedule.
Bespoke Redesigns — Transform your Garments
For more in-depth clothing transformations, book a 60 minute fitting to discover the potential of your garment. Examples of large redesign projects Amy has worked on include transforming a vintage bridal gown into a mini-length rehearsal dinner dress, reshaping suit jackets, and hemming a bridesmaids gown into a cocktail dress with added sleeves. A quote and timeline will be provided at the end of the fitting, and a 50% deposit is due at that time. Remaining 50% is due upon completion of work.
Base prices of alteration services can be viewed below. Prices vary widely, determined by type of fabric, quality of construction, and deadlines on each particular garment. Therefore, the prices listed below are subject to change. However, Amy believes everyone should have clothes that they’re confident in, so she will work hard to find fitting solutions that fit into your price range.
