Alterations, Tailoring & Repairs

Re-stitching buttons, shortening trousers, taking in a dress or adjusting the length of jacket? At BLANC we provide a fabulous, high-quality tailoring, alterations and repairs service to cater to your every need. We restyle, resize and make wonders to make your clothes last longer.

Care, Repair, Rewear

A common myth about tailoring is that it’s expensive and time-consuming, but having your clothes professionally altered and repaired is not only a simple effort but it’s also an affordable solution to clothes that need an upgrade. Our tailors work little miracles and can mend or adjust almost anything - to make it perfect, just for you. Because clothes worth wearing are worth repairing.

We also offer a specialist wedding dress fitting and alteration service with personal fitting appointments in our stores. Click below to book, or contact us on info@blancliving.co or 020 8004 2630 if you require further information.

FAQ

Our professional tailors can alter and mend a wide range of items, from dresses and suits to more complex pieces such as leather jackets and accessories. You can refer to our Price Guide above for some examples of common clothing alterations - and if what you need is not in the list, feel free to get in touch with our Customer Care and we will confirm if we can proceed with your request.

For our delivery customers, you can pin the garment at home and write instructions about what alterations you would like to be done when processing the collection booking online. If you need to adjust measurements, to re-hem a garment or anything else that requires more specific fittings, you can visit our stores and our Store Manager will be happy to help. For complex requests, you can also schedule a store appointment with one of our professional tailors. Please write to info@blancliving.co for more information.

Yes, if you are using our Home pick up & Delivery service and would like to receive a quote before we process your order, you can specify it while completing your online booking by adding a comment in your garment instructions. If you’re dropping off your item at one of our stores, your Store Manager will take note of it in our system and the quote will be sent to you prior to processing your item.

You can, but you don’t have to! When using our alterations & repairs service, you can either provide the replacement zip/ button/ patch/ etc. or if you don’t have one, just let us know in the instructions (while booking online or with a note attached to your item) and our tailors will provide a similar replacement.

Absolutely, our Alterations & Repairs can be used with or without cleaning - just let us know in your instructions while processing the online order or by informing our Store Manager. If you don’t need any cleaning, we will simply steam it before delivering it back to you.

Most alterations & repairs can be completed within our usual 3-day turnaround time. If our expert tailors assess that it will take longer, we will contact you and arrange for this item to be delivered back to you (or to the store you visited) at a later date.
