When it comes to how well you look in your clothing, a good fit makes all the difference. Our in-house tailoring department can repair, alter and restyle your clothing and wedding and formal wear. We can pin, mark, and measure clothing for men, women and children; new, used and vintage. We make it easy to alter kids clothing for the next sibling, to bring a treasured garment back into rotation, and to restore or resize garments as your body and style changes.

Most work can be completed in 3 days or less. Shores has a seamstress on site at the Greensboro and Winston-Salem locations. At our High Point store, we can fit, do minor repairs and pinning, and all sewing is done by our seamstress off site.

If you are looking for hand-sewn hems and intuitive, quality repairs and alterations, Shores is the place. You can just walk in, or you can call for an appointment.

• Whether you require several fittings or just a simple alteration, give the seamstress a clear deadline. To avoid last minute stress it’s a good idea to set that deadline well in advance of when you actually need to wear the garment. This also will help if there is a need for any last minute changes.
• Most wedding gown alterations require at least two fittings. Be leery of anyone who takes your measurements and tells you to pick up your dress in three weeks.
