Scope and achievable fit are agreed before work starts. Fabric, cut, lining, and available seam allowance define what is realistically possible.
Alterations: possibilities, fitting and price
What can be altered – and what cannot
How much can be altered depends on the fabric, cut, lining and the seam allowance available. Taking in is usually easier than letting out, because more width needs enough fabric in the seams.
When shortening trousers, the original hem can often be kept, depending on the style. With tapered legs or special finishes there is less room to work with.
Work on shoulders, armholes or collars is considerably more involved than simple shortening and does not make sense for every garment. On jacket sleeves, buttons and buttonholes at the cuff can limit how much can be shortened.
What is realistic for your garment, we assess at the fitting. That includes telling you when a requested change cannot reasonably be done.
What to bring to the fitting
- For trousers and skirts, the shoes you will wear with them: the right length depends on the shoe and heel height.
- Matching pieces, such as jacket and trousers, together so they still fit together after the alteration.
- Clothing you will wear underneath, for example a shirt with a jacket.
- Describe or show what you would like changed – ideally with a piece that fits you well.
There are no catalogue prices for alterations: the price depends on the work required and is agreed after the fitting or visual assessment.
Frequently asked questions about alterations
What does an alteration cost?
Alterations are priced by the work required. We agree scope, timing and price after the fitting or visual assessment; unlike cleaning, there is no catalogue price for them.
Which alterations are typical?
Shortening trousers and sleeves, width and waist adjustments and selected small repairs by arrangement.
Can a garment be let out?
Yes, if there is enough fabric in the seams. Whether that is the case can usually only be judged on the garment itself.
Is every alteration possible?
No. Fabric, cut, lining and seam allowance set limits. We tell you before work starts what is realistic.
How long does an alteration take?
That depends on the scope and workload. The date is agreed together before work begins; we do not quote a general turnaround.
Which branch can I use to discuss an alteration?
In Britz and in Schöneberg. Addresses, opening hours and contact options are further down this page.
