Shirt Alterations

For this service, try on your shirt and bend your elbow to a 90° angle so you can roughly visualize how much sleeve needs to be shortened. Straighten your arm and fold your cuff to the desired length. The cuff should end where your thumb bone begins, then pin into place.

For this service, fold hem of your top to the desired length. Once the desired length is achieved you can proceed and pin it into place. The folded edge is where your new hem will be. If you wish to change the finish of hem, please add some notes (curved hem, straight hem, slits on sides etc).

Stand straight and look forward, while a friend helps you. Start by pulling out the seams from under the widest part of the waist. Pinch the excess fabric at the outside seam of your shirt, then pin into place. Pinning all the way down to the hem. Then repeat the same process on the other side until achieving your desired fit. If the amount is very little, it is best to just add darts at the back.
