Shirt Alterations London
With over 40 years of experience, we are London’s leading specialists in shirt alterations and restyling.
If your shirt doesn’t fit as desired, we offer expert services to achieve the perfect look and feel. Sleeves can be shortened by removing and reattaching cuffs or adjusting from the shoulder to retain placket length. For double cuffs, slight lengthening is often possible using inlay fabric.
We can also add darts to narrow the waist, adjust the hips, and refine the chest, removing excess fabric for a clean, flattering fit. Trust our skilled tailors to deliver impeccable alterations tailored to your unique style and silhouette.

Frequently Asked Questions about Shirt Alterations

Common shirt alterations typically involve adjusting the sleeves, either shortening or lengthening them to achieve the desired fit. The side seams or back can be taken in or let out to create a slimmer or looser silhouette, depending on personal preference. Additionally, the length of the shirt can be altered for better proportion and a more flattering look. For those seeking a different collar style, adjustments can be made to make it tighter or more open. Cuffs can also be adjusted to fit better, while the overall fit of the shirt can be slimmed to ensure a more tailored appearance. These alterations help achieve a perfect, customized fit for any wearer.
