Bridal Alterations
Your wedding gown deserves an individual approach.
Bridal alterations are priced after an in-person fitting because every gown is constructed differently. Lace placement, beadwork, boning, corsetry, multiple skirt layers, horsehair, and detailed finishing can significantly change the amount of work required.
Specialty Alterations & Repairs
Some projects require a more individual approach. We also offer:
- Leather Alterations & Repairs
- Garment Restoration
- Patches & Repairs
- Pattern Work
- Professional Measurements
- Pocket Additions & Modifications
- Garment Reshaping
- Specialty Construction & Alterations
Pricing for specialty work is provided after evaluating the garment.

A Personal Note from Anastasia
I believe a great alteration should never look like an alteration. My goal is always to make each garment feel as though it was designed for you from the beginning — with careful attention to fit, proportion, construction, and the original character of the piece. I approach every garment individually, whether it is a simple pair of pants, a favorite dress, or something you are wearing for one of the most important moments of your life. Thank you for trusting me with your clothes. I look forward to welcoming you to Klyarov Tailoring.
