For the best results, please attend your fitting wearing the undergarments, shapewear and shoes you intend to wear on the day. These can significantly influence the final fit and silhouette of your garment.
Grooms & Groomsmen Alterations
I also provide a professional fitting and alteration service for grooms and groomsmen.
Menswear alterations are typically completed closer to the wedding day, with the first fitting usually recommended three to four weeks before the event.
Please bring:
- Full suit
- Shirt(s)
- Belt
- Tie or bow tie
- Pocket square
- Wedding shoes
Shoes and belts play an important role in determining the correct trouser length and overall balance of the outfit.
Every outfit receives a professional steam press before collection, ensuring it looks immaculate and ready for the wedding day.
Where possible, I recommend bringing two shirts for pressing so you have a fresh spare available on the day.
