Find The Right Tailor Boston Area To Do Your Alterations

By Coleen Cote


A professional tailor Boston area may provide a general garment alteration service or provide a specialist service. You can access details for the various types of service in the yellow pages for the area, or by running a search by geographical area on the internet. You can narrow down the results list using criteria to identify the type of service you need.

Services can also be sub-divided into several branches of tailoring. Alterations to new and existing wardrobe items are usually required when the garment fit is not quite right. Within this category, the individuals working on alterations may not have undertaken any level of formal training. They are likely to have taken up sewing as a hobby and transferred the skills they built up into a business.

If you buy ready to wear outfits off the rail they often require some minor alterations to the length. The majority of sales people in large department stores, are trained to take accurate measurements for customers, if they require an outfit to be altered. The work will be done by an in-store service or sent to an external service supplier.

Many of the more elite stores will pay for the alterations to the garments, while others will pass the cost on to their customers. The sales assistant will usually advise the customer when the garment will be ready for collection. In some instances the customer can request a 24 hour return, but may be charged more for that service. It may take longer if the garment is sent out for alternation, than it would if it is done in-house.

Having an outfit made to measure will allow the customer a lot more input to the material, style and colors used. Tailors often have samples of some of outfits they have produced to show customers, or at the very least will have a portfolio of their work. They will provide their clients with material swatches and color pads, so they can choose the ones they require.

Customers who choose to have their outfit made especially for them, can expect to pay a lot more for the privilege. In addition to the initial session when measurements are taken, customers will have to attend for a number of fittings, before the outfit is ready to wear. Fittings are an opportunity to make any amendments before the garment is finished.

Unfortunately, it is only the wealthy members of society that can afford to have their clothes designed and produced especially for them. It is generally known that film stars and royals have outfits designed for special and high profile events. Many of the original and bespoke designs made an individual are copied and produced for the general market.

If you have not used a tailor Boston area, ask neighbors and work colleagues if they can recommend a reliable and quality tailoring service. Check reviews in local newspapers, magazines and online directories to see how other people rate the service they received. If you take the time to find a professional service provider you should have no difficulty in having your outfit made or altered to a good standard.
