Alterations
The perfect fit makes all the difference in how you look and feel. At The Dry Cleaner, we offer professional alteration services to ensure your garments fit you precisely. Whether you need a simple hem on a new pair of trousers, the waistline adjusted on a favorite skirt, or the sleeves shortened on a blazer, our skilled tailors handle your clothing with care. We work with a wide range of fabrics, from durable denim to delicate silks, ensuring the original style and finish of the garment are maintained.
We pay close attention to the original stitching and design details of your garment. When shortening hems or taking in seams, we strive to match the thread color and stitch pattern so the alteration looks seamless and original. We also handle essential repairs, such as fixing stuck zippers or re-securing loose linings, to extend the life of your wardrobe.

How long do alterations take?
The turnaround time depends on the complexity of the job. Simple tasks like pant hems are usually quick, while more complex adjustments like resizing a jacket may take longer. We can provide an estimated completion date when you drop off your item.
Do I need to pin the clothes myself?
It is best if you try on the garment so we can measure the exact fit you need. However, if you already know the exact measurement (for example, a 30-inch inseam), we can work with that instruction as well.
Can you replace zippers on jackets?
Yes, we replace broken or stuck zippers on trousers, skirts, and jackets. We aim to match the zipper style and color as closely as possible to the original design.
