Tailoring/ Alterations Drop Off + Fitting
Please select this option for hems, tapers, taking in at waist, changing the design/ shape of a garment, etc. We encourage taking the time for a fitting with us for all alterations to ensure a precise fit. Clients are welcome to pin their garments at home, but Old Flame Mending will not be able to "redo" any garments that are not fitted by our staff. For hemming + tapering on pants, skirts, and dresses, please bring the shoes you would wear with the garment! This ensures a proper fit. Sorry, we are not doing suit jacket alterations at this time. We enthusiastically refer you to Alberto & Pasquale in Lawrenceville! For prom/ bridesmaid/ formal dresses, please book using our Formal Gown fitting option. Thanks!
