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.

Reassurance
Alterations Boutique is a VAT-registered limited company with a comprehensive insurance policy that protects your shirt while it is in our care. Unfortunately, some rogue businesses operate without paying taxes, accept cash only, and lack proper insurance, leaving you and your garment without any protection.
We take pride in being a fully compliant British company that adheres to all rules and regulations, providing our clients with complete peace of mind.
The Team
All of our team are qualified Master Tailors by trade. Despite being already qualified, the team have to undergo a rigorous Alterations Boutique training programme to demonstrate they perform work to our high standards. In addition, there is ongoing regular training to help the team master their skills.
Shirt Alterations Costs
We believe in charging our customers fair and reasonable prices, which is why we regularly research the market to ensure our rates remain competitive. While we understand your desire to know the costs upfront, shirts can vary significantly in their construction—such as the type of seam (e.g., French seam, Flat Felled seam), cuff style, hem gussets, fit, and detailing. For this reason, we encourage customers to visit us for a free, accurate, and no-obligation quote.
At your appointment, we will provide a detailed breakdown of costs so you have a clear understanding of the charges. We strive to work within your budget while delivering outstanding quality workmanship. Our fair and reasonable price policy ensures that our customers receive exceptional service and expert tailoring without paying premium prices.
