Frequently Asked Questions

Straightforward answers about our tailoring, alterations, and fitting process in Port Said

How long does a typical alteration take?

Most standard alterations, such as hemming trousers or adjusting a jacket, are completed within 3 to 5 working days. More detailed bespoke work, including full suit fittings, may take one to two weeks depending on the complexity of the garment.

Do I need an appointment for a fitting?

Yes, we recommend booking a fitting appointment in advance so we can dedicate proper time to your measurements and preferences. Walk-ins for simple alterations are welcome, but bespoke work is best scheduled ahead.

Can you alter clothing bought elsewhere?

Absolutely. We regularly alter garments purchased from other stores, including wedding attire, formal suits, and everyday clothing. Bring the item in and our tailors will assess what adjustments are possible.

What types of garments do you work with?

Our atelier handles a wide range of items, including suits, dresses, trousers, shirts, and traditional garments. We work with most common fabrics and can advise on what alterations are practical for delicate or structured materials.

How many fittings are needed for a bespoke garment?

A bespoke garment typically involves two to three fittings to ensure an accurate fit through the shoulders, waist, and length. This process allows our tailors to make precise adjustments before the final finishing.

Do you repair damaged or torn clothing?

Yes, we offer garment repair services including fixing torn seams, replacing zippers and buttons, and mending small tears. Bring in the item so we can evaluate the repair needed and provide a clear estimate.

What should I bring to my first fitting?

Please bring the shoes and undergarments you plan to wear with the finished garment, as this helps us achieve accurate length and fit. If altering an existing item, bring it with you so our tailor can inspect it directly.

Is pricing based on the garment or the type of alteration?

Pricing depends on both factors — the complexity of the alteration and the type of fabric or garment involved. We provide a clear quote after examining the piece, before any work begins.

Have a garment that needs a tailor's touch?

Bring it to our Port Said atelier for a clear assessment and fitting appointment.
