Choosing the Tailor that is the Perfect Fit for you in Three Easy Tips

Finding someone to hem pants or hem jackets can be a daunting task.  There are several options that appear in a webs search for tailors in Miami Gardens, but mind you that not all tailors are created equal.

Beyond the quick internet search and asking friends and family for referrals, there are some other ways to know if a tailor is right for you.  Here are some ideas.

1. Find a place that is local and with a good reputation. Referrals from friends and online reviews can give a lot of guidance on how to find the best tailor in Miami Gardens.  You need a person who knows how to hem pants or hem jackets. Surprisingly, you should not rule out a dry cleaner.  Some dry cleaners today offer full seamstress and tailoring services, often at a better rate than a professional tailor.  It also is nice to have a “one stop shop” where you both clean and repair your finest attire.
2. Once you feel like you have found a place that will work for you, bring in a singular piece a test run. Find a piece of clothing that needs alterations, but it should not be one that you adore.  Instead, bring an article that you do not mind losing if it gets ruined.  It does happen, so think ahead.  Be aware of how the team makes alterations.  Some will do it by word, which might be okay in a simple case where, for example, you just want pants brought in an inch.  The best tailors will actually want to see the clothing on you both before and after alterations.  An amazing one will look at the piece on your body and make recommendations you may have not even considered:  the sleeves, the hem, the way it fits your shoulders – all of these facets matter when looking for an item that provides a perfect custom fit.
3. Once you find a tailor you like, stay loyal to them. The relationship you will build will ensure the tailor pays special attention to your pieces.  If you are someone who needs a lot of tailoring, due to a lot of new purchases, a career in fashion, or fluctuating body composition, then the relationship is even more important.  Surprise them with a holiday gift or a special card around the tailor’s birthday.
4. Finally, trust your instincts. If the photos of the tailor location look like a place you can envision yourself – it is clean, neat, and organized, then it will most likely work out well.  If not, the beauty of a test piece is that you can move onto the next one.

Finding a someone to hem pants or hem jackets you can trust does not have to be difficult.  As recommended consider a dry cleaner like Alan Dry Cleaner which should be able to help.
