Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to what clients most often ask before visiting our atelier in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.

What types of garments do you alter?

We handle alterations for suits, dresses, trousers, shirts, gowns, and formalwear. Common requests include hemming, resizing waistbands, taking in or letting out seams, shortening sleeves, and adjusting shoulders for a better fit.

How long does a typical alteration take?

Simple alterations, such as hemming trousers, are usually completed within 2-3 days. More detailed work, like resizing a jacket or adjusting a gown, may take 5-7 days depending on the complexity and current workload at the atelier.

Do you offer bespoke garment fitting from scratch?

Yes, we create custom garments built around your measurements and preferences. This includes an initial consultation, fabric selection, multiple fitting sessions, and final adjustments to ensure the finished piece fits properly.

Can I bring my own fabric for a custom garment?

Yes, clients are welcome to supply their own fabric. Our tailors will review the material to confirm it's suitable for the intended garment style and advise on any adjustments needed for cutting and construction.

Do you work with wedding dresses or formal gowns?

Yes, we handle alterations and fittings for wedding dresses and formal gowns, including resizing, hemming, and structural adjustments such as bodice fitting. We recommend booking these appointments a few weeks ahead of the event.

How many fittings are needed for a bespoke suit?

A bespoke suit typically requires two to three fitting sessions: an initial measurement and pattern fitting, a mid-construction check, and a final fitting to confirm fit and finish before the garment is completed.

Is the atelier easy to reach if I'm staying in a hotel?

Yes, our atelier is located in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, and is accessible from most hotel areas. We recommend contacting us ahead of your visit so we can confirm availability and prepare for your fitting session.

What should I bring to my first fitting appointment?

For alterations, bring the garment itself along with the shoes or accessories you plan to wear with it. For bespoke garments, no items are required initially, though reference images of styles you like are helpful.
