What a fitting here asks of you
Five minutes and the right shoes. Nothing else, and it costs nothing either.
- Put the piece on
Nothing can be pinned on a hanger. We pin on the body, and it takes two minutes.
- Bring the shoes and the belt
Two centimetres of heel move the hem by two centimetres. It is the most common mistake.
- You hear the price on the spot
A fixed price while we pin, not at collection. The pinning itself is free.
- Usually back in 48 hours
Small jobs often the same day; bespoke work by arrangement.
Monday to Saturday, Idastrasse 1. No appointment needed, except for wedding dresses.
