How it works

Simple as
one, two, three.

  1. 1

    Bring it in

    Drop in to 469 Toorak Road any day Monday to Saturday, 8 am to 5 pm, or call first to talk it through.

  2. 2

    Pin and chalk

    Try it on so the length or the fit is marked on you, not guessed. Ask for the price before the work starts.

  3. 3

    Pick it up

    Collect it altered and ready to wear, at the same counter on Toorak Road.
