Clothing Alterations And Pattern Alterations For Apparel, Medical, Safety...
If you are in need of expert pattern alterations, modifications, and corrections, then you have come to the right place.
With 25 years of experience altering apparel, accessories, medical, safety, automotive... patterns we have a keen sense of the skill, art, and creativity that a good alteration requires. Certainly, measurements need to be made, and principles of alteration adhered to…but without the knack for altering patterns that come with years of experience, you can only hope for less than the best.
We deliver the best quality alterations.
What Makes Our Alterations Better Than The Rest?
No two alteration projects are the same. Starting with that principle in mind, we look at many factors that have to be considered in order to undertake the perfect alteration project. And guess what? Depending on the alteration project or your particular garment, the factors may be different.
But, by way of example, we might conclude that your alteration requires special attention being paid to the following...
- The amount of alteration being accurate and advisable
- Maintaining the style of the garment you want to be altered. For example, if we are working with a bikini, does the style of the bikini remain the same as before the adjustments? It absolutely should, unless the modification was done to change the style
- The sewing line should be positioned as it was before the alteration so that the garment drapes perfectly
- Connecting sewing lines must correspond to the other sewing lines
- The curve sewing line of the bikini, dress or shirt must curve smoothly
- The modified part of the bikini or skirt must lie smooth and flat and not bulge, so as to come out as a perfectly altered pattern
The point is, it’s our goal to get your alteration done just the way you want it — so you can look and feel your best in that dress, skirt, shirt or bikini that deserves a second life.
The Principles Of Quality Alterations
It always starts with the numbers — or as we say, measurement is key! If you are trying to alter a garment for the best fit for your figure, we have to get the numbers right...every time.
First, we have to make sure that your body curvatures perfectly correspond to the measurements of the pattern. Second, we measure to extend and maintain grainlines precisely. Those two measurements will go a long way to ensure a perfect fit.
Other principles employed for various alteration orders include strict adherence to the right angle rule, seam allowances, the precise laying of anchors, and ultimately…
Taking each alteration one at a time for any given garment.

Alterations All The Way Down — The Right Way
One of the most important principles of alterations is that you have to take one piece at a time, from the top down of any given garment.
One way to think of it is that every alteration creates a chain effect. By altering areas up high — say the shoulders of a dress — you end up having the effect of requiring corresponding alterations to the armholes, the chest, the waist and so on…
The end result? A high-quality fit! And you smiling back at yourself in a full-length mirror.

Don’t Throw It Out – Alter it!
Nothing makes you fall in love with that particular dress, skirt, or shirt like a good fit. A good fit makes you feel good...and confident!
Maybe a particular garment just isn’t delivering the right fit...and you don’t like the look of it, and you don’t feel right wearing it.
You have two choices. You can toss it in the trash. Or better yet...give the garment a custom alteration to fit you like no off-the-rack garment ever could. Instead of consigning that expensive dress, skirt, or bikini to the trash heap, turn it into your favorite go-to garment — something you look forward to wearing, and can’t wait to slip into.
Watch others take notice, wondering how you achieved such a perfect fit...as if that bikini you're wearing was made especially for you. The truth is, it was made especially for you because you let us alter it for you.

Bikinis Pattern Alterations
Fit and shape are rarely as important for a garment as it is for a bikini. A good fit is essential if you want to look and feel good in your bikini.
To achieve an optimal fit we…
- Fold out excess fullness on the bikini to make the areas smaller
- Reduce draping and overlap along the sewing line to increase or decrease the bikini pattern dimensions
- And by redrawing or reshaping the sewing lines
All those technical sounding things add up to create you one heck of a good looking bikini that anyone would look forward to wearing at the pool or beach.
