Our promise to you

Our standards and guarantees, for every
garment we touch.

Book an Appointment

Every garment you trust us with matters. The craftsmanship matters. The fit matters. And the experience of working with us matters just as much as the result. We are not happy until you are.

That belief sits at the center of everything we do — and these policies are how we honor it. It is why our master tailors average more than twenty years at the bench. It is why we hold ourselves to a standard most alteration services don't. And it is why we back every alteration with a guarantee that is unconditional. What follows isn't fine print. Each policy is a promise we keep.

Alts fitting studio

Thirty days, no questions

Every alteration performed at Alts is guaranteed for 30 days from the pickup date shown on your receipt.

If something doesn't feel right, we make it right. Bring your garment back within 30 days, and our tailors will fine-tune your original alterations at no additional charge until the fit meets your expectations.

The guarantee covers rips, holes, tears, and mistakes directly caused by work performed by our team. It does not extend to general wear and tear of the garment unrelated to the alteration. After 30 days, responsibility for the garment returns to the client — though if you have a concern outside that window, reach out to us via phone or email and we'll do our best to find a solution. For more specifics, visit our terms and conditions page.

We're not happy until you are.

How to reach us

Nothing is touched without your approval

No alteration is ever performed without your explicit approval. Before any work begins, your garment is assessed and a full quote provided. Nothing is cut or altered until you have reviewed the scope of work and agreed to the pricing — whether your garment is brought into a studio, dropped off for a quote, or collected through our at-home fitting service.

If the scope of work changes at any point during the process, we will contact you before proceeding.

What you're quoted is what you pay

Transparent pricing is a commitment we take seriously. Every client receives a full written quote at their complimentary consultation, before work begins. To help set expectations before you book, estimated starting prices are published on our standard alterations and bridal alterations pages.

Your consultation quote is valid for three months after your fitting and reflects the complete cost of the alterations discussed — what you're quoted is what you pay. Rush fees, where they apply, are disclosed upfront and require your approval before your garment moves up the queue.

If you have questions about pricing at any point, speak with your studio directly, or write to customerservice@alterationspecialists.com.

Your wedding gown deserves a dedicated specialist

Your gown deserves more than a good tailor. It deserves a dedicated specialist, a calm and private fitting environment, and a team that understands the weight of what you're trusting us with.

Every bridal client at Alts works with a designated bridal specialist from first fitting to final collection. Your appointments are private. Your gown is handled with the same precision and care we bring to the most complex garments we work with.

01A complimentary consultation with a dedicated bridal specialist.
02Private fitting rooms at every stage.
03Clear communication at each fitting about what has been completed, and what comes next.
04Your approval before any work begins or any scope changes.
05Rush options if your timeline requires it, with fees disclosed before confirmation.
06The full 30-day re-alteration guarantee on all bridal work.

We fit more than a thousand brides each year across our studios. We know what this moment means, and we treat it accordingly.

You'll always know where things stand

From your first fitting to the day you collect your garment, you should always know where things stand. We commit to keeping you informed at every stage of the process. If there is a delay, a question about your garment, or any change to the agreed timeline, we will contact you proactively. You will never be left wondering whether your garment is ready or why it isn't.

If at any point during your experience you feel that something hasn't been handled with the care it deserves, we want to hear from you. Reach us at customerservice@alterationspecialists.com.

A space built for the work

Every Alts studio is designed to reflect the quality of the work done inside it. Minimalist, calm, and purpose-built for fittings. Private fitting rooms, ample light, and an environment that gives your garment and your appointment the space they deserve.

When you visit Alts, you should feel that from the moment you walk in.

In expert, accountable hands

Trust us with something that matters

Book a complimentary consultation, or reach out with a question. Either way, the same care applies — from the first fitting to the final collection.
