FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question about our alteration services? Here are a few of the things people ask most often.

Do you offer express or same-day alterations?

Yes — we offer express service whenever our schedule allows. Small fixes like hems or zip replacements can often be completed within 24 hours. Send us a quick WhatsApp message to check availability.

Can you alter wedding dresses or formal wear?

Absolutely. Bridal and occasion wear are our specialties. We recommend booking your fitting at least 12–15 weeks before your event to allow time for adjustments and final touches.

How long do standard alterations take?

Most everyday alterations — hems, zips, or sleeve adjustments — are ready in 3–5 working days.

Complex or delicate garments may take a little longer, but we’ll confirm exact turnaround at your fitting.


What types of garments do you work on?

We alter almost everything — from jeans and dresses to coats, suits, kilts, and curtains. If you’re unsure, just bring the item or send a photo, and we’ll let you know what’s possible.

How can I get a price quote?

Prices depend on fabric type and complexity. For the fastest estimate, give us a call to arrange a fitting or send us an email.

We’ll give you a clear, no-obligation quote before any work begins.

How far in advance I should make a booking?

For bridal and formal dress alterations, please book 12–15 weeks in advance.

For everyday alterations, 1–2 weeks is usually enough.

If you need something sooner, contact us — we may be able to fit you in.

Can’t find what you’re looking for?

Support for Fashion Design Students

Helping fashion students with their final collections

Create your graduate collection with confidence — Nice Alter provides professional sewing support for fashion students during their final year.

Fashion design students, especially in their final year, are often overwhelmed with multiple tasks — writing dissertations, developing final concepts, preparing portfolios, and creating multiple outfits for their graduate collection.

Many successful designers work together with an experienced seamstress to bring their ideas to life. Even Alexander McQueen had help from his mother and a friend when creating his final collection.

Outsourcing part of the sewing work (where the university permits it) can save valuable time, allowing students to focus on research, creative direction, styling, and final presentations.

A professionally finished garment also ensures the collection meets industry standards, making students’ work more appealing for employers or for events like Graduate Fashion Week.

While some institutions limit outsourcing, others allow a percentage of garments to be professionally sewn. The designer and seamstress roles remain distinct: the designer provides the vision, and the seamstress perfects the craft and execution.

If you need help with sewing garments for your final collection, feel free to get in touch.
