Expert Tailoring Services – Perfect Fit, Affordable Prices

At Hiram’s Thimble, we believe that well-fitted clothing enhances confidence and style. Our expert tailoring services ensure that every garment—whether formal, casual, or professional—fits perfectly to complement your body shape and personal style. With a commitment to precision, affordability, and customer satisfaction, we transform your clothing into pieces that feel like they were made just for you.

Fitting Sessions – Find Your Perfect Fit

A proper fit is the foundation of great style, and no tailoring service can begin before a fitting session. Our fitting sessions help determine the best adjustments to enhance comfort and appearance. Whether you need a suit to fit flawlessly, a dress that drapes elegantly, or casual wear that flatters your shape, our expert tailors will guide you through the best alterations for your needs.

Sleeve Adjustments – Shorten or Lengthen

Ill-fitting sleeves can make even the most expensive garment look off-balance. Whether your sleeves are too long or too short, we adjust them to match your proportions, ensuring a polished and professional look.

Additional Sleeve Alterations

Button Replacements - Renew Your Garments

Loose or missing buttons can make an outfit look worn out. This simple tailoring service replaces missing or damaged buttons with matching or upgraded styles to restore and enhance your clothing’s appearance.

Waist Reduction & Let Out

Clothing should complement your shape, not restrict it. If your pants, skirts, or jackets feel too tight or loose at the waist, we can adjust them for the perfect fit. Our precise alterations ensure a seamless, natural look, whether you need a slight take-in or a little extra room.

Hemming For Pants, Skirts & Dresses

From jeans to dress pants, skirts to evening gowns, the right hemline makes all the difference. Our hemming services ensure your clothing falls just right, providing a tailored appearance that enhances comfort and style.

Lining Replacements - Restore Your Favorite Pieces

Worn-out lining can make a jacket or coat uncomfortable and unattractive. Our lining replacement services refresh your garments with high-quality fabric, extending their life while maintaining their original charm.

Shirts

Looking to give your favorite shirts a perfect, custom fit? I specialize in precision alterations that bring comfort and style together. Whether you need the sides or sleeves taken in for a slimmer silhouette, darts added to the back for a more tailored shape, or sleeves and hems shortened for the ideal length, I’ve got you covered. 

Dresses

Every dress should fit like it was made just for you, and that’s exactly what we do. Whether you need to take in or let out the sides for a better fit, adjust the sleeves, shoulders, or collar for a more refined look, or even replace a zipper for smooth functionality, I’ve got you covered. From hemming gowns and reducing bottom flair to waist and hip adjustments, every detail is carefully crafted to enhance your comfort and style. Need to shorten the bodice, adjust shoulder straps, or add darts for a flattering silhouette? We handle it all. Even intricate fixes like repairing linings, adjusting necklines, or adding hoops and buttons are done with precision and care.

Collar Resetting - Sharpen Your Look

A collar is a defining feature of shirts, blazers, and coats. Over time, collars can become worn or misshapen. We carefully reset collars to bring back structure and elegance to your attire.

Pant Leg Narrowing - Modern & Sleek

Trends change, and so do fit preferences. If your pants feel too wide or outdated, we can narrow the legs for a more modern, streamlined appearance.

Additional Pant Alterations

Zipper Replacement - Restore Functionality

A broken zipper doesn’t mean your favorite jacket, dress, or pants need to be discarded. Thanks to our master tailoring services, we can replace zippers efficiently, ensuring your garments work perfectly again.

We can adjust the sides and back for a more tailored silhouette, shorten the length for a modern look, and even replace or repair worn-out linings to extend the life of your garment. Want added functionality or a custom touch? We can add interior or exterior pockets, replace old buttons, or sew on new ones that suit your style.

Jeans

Want a more modern, streamlined look? We taper the legs or raise/lower the hemline to achieve your perfect style. Functional fixes like replacing zippers, repairing pockets, or adding/replacing buttons ensure your jeans stay in top shape, while repairing or replacing linings adds longevity.
