Expert Clothing Alterations & Tailoring in Indianapolis
Off the Rack Is a Starting Point, Not a Finish Line
A great garment that doesn’t fit right never looks the way it should. Whether something is too big, too small, too long, or just slightly off, the fix is usually simpler than you think.
Classic Cleaners’ Alteration Specialists bring over 35 years of experience to every alteration, working with everything from everyday trousers to formal suits and wedding attire. We use top-quality materials and equipment, and we take the time to get it right.
What We Alter
More Than Just Hemming
We handle a full range of alterations and repairs including:
- Hems and Length
Hemming dresses, skirts, and pants, shortening or lengthening pant and skirt hems, and shortening sleeves on shirts, jackets, and coats.
- Fit Adjustments
Letting out and taking in dresses, skirts, and pants, tapering unlined pant legs, taking in or letting out waistbands, and nipping in fabric around the hips on pants, skirts, and dresses.
- Repairs
Replacing zippers, replacing buttons and fasteners, repairing fabric tears, patching jacket elbows, and repairing quilts.
If your alteration isn’t listed here, bring it in anyway. If it’s something our Alteration Specialist can fix, they will.
Everyday Wear to Special Occasions
Our Alteration Specialist work on all types of garments including suits and blazers, dress trousers and formal wear, dresses and skirts, shirts and jackets, coats and outerwear, and wedding and bridal attire.
Whether it’s a suit you wear to work every week or a dress you’re wearing once to a wedding, we treat every garment with the same level of care and attention.
