Alterations & Restoration in
Jeddah
Clients in Jeddah commission from our Windhoek atelier the same way clients across the road do: a video consultation, a measured brief, a posted toile and photographed fit checks. Nothing about the garment is compromised by the distance — only the fitting-room chair is missing.
Alterations & Restoration for Jeddah
A gown bought off the rail is a starting point, not a finished garment. We take in, let out, re-cup, re-hem, re-bone and re-balance — and we rebuild inherited gowns so a mother's or grandmother's dress can be worn again without looking borrowed.
Restoration is slower than making new. Aged silk, brittle beadwork and yellowed lace each need their own treatment before a single seam is opened.
For Jeddah we favour matte crêpe, long sleeves in weightless georgette and modest-cut linings that stay opaque under strong light.
What's included

No flight required
Measurements are taken locally in Jeddah to our written brief, or by a tailor we brief directly. The toile is couriered to you, photographed on your body and adjusted before the final fabric is cut. The finished garment ships insured, door-to-door, in a garment box with a steaming and dressing guide.
