Tailoring repairs and alterations
When to take your clothing to the tailor
Sometimes it's just easier and wiser to go to a professional when it comes to alterations and repairments of garments. We do recommend that you repair easier things yourself - and it's never too late to learn, especially with our repair videos and step-by-step guides - but when it comes to more tricky stuff like changing a zipper or shortening sleeves, we recommend going to a professional tailor. The professional knows what she or he is doing and will most likely do a better job than a layman. At the same time you are supporting the preservation of traditional craftsmanship and such professions in your town.
We recommend that you look around a little bit in your town, search online or ask your friends and family about a well-recommended tailor that does a good job and takes a fair price for the alteration or repairment of a specific type of garment.
