How formalwear alterations are planned
At Stitch Craft, formalwear alterations begin with an appointment and a close review of the garment’s construction, fabric, and current condition. This first step helps define what can be adjusted, what should be preserved, and how the fit can be improved without overworking the piece.
For suits, we often look at jacket and trouser balance together so the final result stays proportionate. Depending on the garment, the work may include jacket fit adjustment, trouser alterations, sleeve adjustment, or a broader formalwear fitting package.
Every garment is assessed before any final quote is given.
A careful fitting process helps protect the structure, balance, and original details of your suit or formal outfit.
Each project receives a written alteration scope after the garment has been inspected and the fitting needs are clear. Turnaround time depends on the work required and workshop capacity, and the process usually includes one or two fittings before collection.
We aim to preserve original design details where possible, while making practical changes that support comfort and presentation. Final collection includes a last check and care notes so the garment is ready for the occasion ahead.
