What follows is a record of the services offered at the atelier. The list is not exhaustive — we will look at any garment worth saving, and turn away nothing brought in good faith.
A suit cut to your form. Two or three fittings, beginning from cloth and ending in a finished garment. Italian and English wools are stocked, with linens for warmer months and heavier cloth for the Nebraska winter.
Most garments arrive close, not correct. A jacket that gapes at the collar. Trousers that puddle. A dress taken in at the waist or let out across the hip. The right alteration turns the garment into yours.
Bridal work has its own folio — see the dedicated page for the full account of gown fitting, bustles, lace and beading repair, and heirloom restoration.
The bridal folio →A leather jacket lasts longer than the body that wears it. We replace zippers, repair linings, take in shoulders, and rebuild what twenty years of wear has thinned. Bring it in. We'll tell you whether it can be saved — and what it will cost.
Tuxedo fittings before the gala. Prom dresses across the long shoulder season. The dress for the anniversary, the suit for the funeral, the shirt for the christening. We are quiet, prompt, and discreet.
The consultation is free. The estimate is written. The work, when undertaken, is by hand.
