How a fitting works
Most Indian dress alterations follow this four-step flow — bring the matching pieces with you so the full silhouette can be checked together.
- 1
Initial consultation
Bring the garment and any matching pieces (dupatta, churidar, undergarments) so we can see how the silhouette is meant to sit on the wearer.
- 2
Measurement and quote
We measure, pin, and walk you through what the work involves before any cuts are made. Pricing is confirmed at this point.
- 3
Alterations
Detail work is hand-finished where the embroidery, sequins, or zardozi need it — kept clear of the bead lines and pattern motifs.
- 4
Final fitting
Try the piece on with the same shoes and undergarments you plan to wear on the day. We refine the fit and confirm the finishing.
Pricing
Every Indian piece is different — fabric, layers, embroidery, and the alterations needed all affect the price. We confirm pricing at your first fitting before any work begins.
Final pricing depends on the piece, the embellishment, and the alterations needed.
Allow extra time for pieces with extensive embroidery or zardozi work.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work on sarees, lehengas, and salwar kameez?
Yes — these are some of the most common Indian alterations we do. Saree blouse fitting and lining, fall and pico, lehenga waist and length, and salwar kameez side seams are all standard work for us.
Can you alter pieces with heavy embroidery, beading, or zardozi work?
Yes, with appropriate care. We work patiently around bead lines, sequins, and pattern motifs so the embellishment isn't disturbed. Bring the piece in and we'll walk you through what's possible before any work begins.
How much do Indian dress alterations cost?
Indian dress alterations start at $35 — covering saree blouse fitting and basic adjustments. Layered pieces like lehengas start at $40. Pieces with extensive embroidery, beading, or zardozi work are priced individually at the fitting since the embellishment changes the work involved. Final cost depends on the garment and the alterations needed; we'll confirm the price at your fitting before any work begins.
Do you work with garments bought in India or overseas?
Yes — we routinely fit garments purchased from India, the UK, or anywhere else. Bring the piece in along with any tailoring receipt or fit notes the original tailor provided, and we'll work from there.
How early should I book before an event?
Book 2–3 weeks before the event for standard alterations. Multi-piece outfits or pieces needing detail work around embellishment may need 3–4 weeks. Rush work may be available — ask when you book.
