Custom Alterations Available

Custom Alterations handles comprehensive tailoring and structural garment modifications from its workshop inside Town Center Mall in Kennesaw. Founded and operated by head tailor Roger, who brings more than seventeen years of bench experience refined across commercial clothiers including Men's Wearhouse, JoS. A. Bank, and K&G, the shop addresses a broad spectrum of wardrobe challenges. The technical focus extends across men’s two-piece and three-piece suits, corporate business attire, school uniforms, and formal gowns, balancing rapid turnaround capabilities with structurally sound seam adjustments.

Daily floor work centers on structural suit tailoring and exact trouser reconfiguration. When refining jackets, the process begins with evaluating collar posture and balance points before adjusting sleeve lengths at the cuffs, taking in side seams through the torso, or reshaping shoulders. For trousers, work encompasses waist intake and let-out, seat reductions, leg tapering, and precision hemming with blind stitches or reinforced cuffs. The shop also tackles specialized functional modifications, such as integrating concealed zippers along trouser in-seams to accommodate medical prosthetics, demonstrating a mechanical flexibility beyond conventional garment adjustments.

Formalwear services cover prom attire, bridesmaid dresses, and wedding gowns constructed from complex materials including layered chiffon, silk satin, and lace overlays. Each formal garment undergoes an initial pin-fitting where seam allowances, bust shaping, and hem levels are marked directly against the wearer's posture. Multiple bench stages follow, from detaching delicate trim and stabilizing bodice boning to reconstructing horsehair braid hem structures and resetting invisible back zippers. These methodical checkpoints verify that tension remains uniform across interior linings and outer shells so gowns hang evenly and withstand movement during long events.

Clients preparing for fitting appointments should bring the specific footwear, undergarments, or shapewear planned for the garment, as heel height and torso foundations directly dictate hem breaks and bodice alignment. While standard garment jobs such as pant hems or minor seam repairs can often be accommodated on fast or same-day turnaround schedules, intricate formalwear and multi-piece suit restructuring typically require one to two weeks of shop time. All items presented for fitting must be freshly laundered or dry-cleaned to ensure fabric lays flat against the measuring shears and needles without distortion.
