Alteration Services for the Perfect Fit – Tailored by Hampstead Garment Care

At Hampstead Garment Care, we believe clothes should not only look good—they should feel good, fit well, and give you confidence. When your clothing fits your body correctly, you stand taller, move more comfortably, and feel more like yourself. Tailoring is the process that makes this possible by adjusting clothing so it matches your shape and style.

Our team of professional tailors in London works with a wide range of garments, from everyday jeans to luxury suits and wedding dresses. We focus on precision, quality, and comfort. Whether you need something simple like a hem adjustment or a whole garment reconstruction, our goal is always the same: to help your clothes fit you perfectly and last longer.

Why Tailoring Is Important

Most clothes are made in standard sizes, which means they may not fit your body exactly right. Tailoring corrects this by adjusting each part of the garment to match your body’s proportions. Tailored clothing improves your appearance and your confidence, making you feel more professional, elegant, or relaxed—depending on your style.

Tailoring is not only for special occasions. It is a smart way to improve clothes you already own, update items that no longer fit, or maintain valuable pieces like formalwear, uniforms, and designer garments.

Common Clothing Issues We Solve

Fit Problems

We adjust shoulders, sleeves, waists, lengths, and overall garment structure so clothes match your body shape and proportions. This includes correcting shoulder slope, smoothing fabric bunching, adjusting armhole size for better mobility, and reshaping the torso for a sleek, fitted look. Whether you need a relaxed fit or a sharp tailored finish, we ensure your garment complements your posture and movement.

Weight Changes

If your size has changed due to weight loss, gain, or muscle development, we can resize your garments to fit comfortably again while preserving their structure and style. We can let out seams, add panels, re-balance proportions, and reshape garments so they flatter your current body without visible alteration marks.

Vintage and Sentimental Clothing

We restore older garments to preserve their original design while improving their comfort, appearance, and durability. This includes repairing delicate fabrics, replacing linings, reinforcing seams, and reshaping garments to suit modern fit standards—all while retaining their unique historical or emotional value.

Uniform and Workwear Tailoring

We make uniforms look professional, fit comfortably, and last longer by reinforcing stress points, adjusting for active movement, and ensuring a sharp, polished appearance. This is ideal for hospitality, medical, corporate, and school uniforms where presentation and durability are essential.

Bridal and Formal Wear

We specialise in wedding dresses, bridesmaid gowns, evening wear, and formal outfits, ensuring they fit perfectly for your big day or special event. We adjust bodices, hems, trains, and sleeves, and can add bust support, bustle systems, or reshape the gown to match your vision while ensuring maximum comfort and elegance.
