THE IMPORTANCE OF CLOTHING ALTERATIONS IN OUR DAILY LIVES


We will help you look and feel good in your clothes. Peruse through our Alteration Menu to gain a better understanding of the type of services we offer.

 

Alterations have always been an important aspect from the beginning of time for looking and feeling good in our clothing. Men, women, and children all have the need for alterations through the year…may be for business, causal, or school attire.

Ready-made (Off the rack)
There is a need to alter clothes that are purchased off the rack (ready-made) because they are standard sizes which is not to your required length. Whether it is the length of your dress or pants…or the sleeves, they will need to be adjusted.


Physical Problems
Some people are extra tall where others are extra short...they may have an unaligned hip…one arm or leg may be shorter or longer than the other. Some people who have curved spines or have injured their spin must have their jacket altered to fit properly.

 

Weight Gain or Loss

 Most people fluctuate their weight throughout the year. They tend to add a couple of pounds in the winter especially around the holidays. In the summer they usually loose a few pounds from taking advantage of the nice weather. The clothes need to be altered to accommodate the weight gain or loss.  No matter if you are currently shaped like an apple or a pear, Kyrou Tailoring will help you dress through all your weight changes.        

 


Dieting

 A person that is dieting will need to take advantage of altering their clothing to sustain them until they have reached their goal. In doing so they save money before they buy their new wardrobe.

Alterations can be a staircase to your new wardrobe once you reach your desired weight (size).     

 


Body Building
Today everyone has taken a new interest in working out and building muscles. In doing so their clothes can be altered to accommodate them to a certain degree before or if they will need to buy new clothing.

 

Children
All of the above pertain to children also which helps get more usage out of their clothing.

 

Saving Money

ALTERATIONS FOR HEALTH & FITNESS

Health & Fitness

Alter your clothes as you get into shape! Feeling Good and Looking Good go hand-in-hand.

Being healthy (feeling good) shouldn’t be looked at as a chore or task, rather as a life style. We believe that feeling good goes hand in hand with looking good.

Whether it may be an individual getting back into shape, staying in shape, or  maintaining…second to the healthy aspect is the appearance of that individual. The ability to get back into clothes that once fit, dropping a clothing size, measuring inches around the waist that have been lost, etc….

The cost associated with purchasing new clothes or an entire new wardrobe is very  overwhelming. Especially during economically difficult times, it makes financial since to alter your existing clothes so that they properly fit rather than throwing out and having to purchase all
new clothing. Feeling confident about ones appearance is a huge step in the success and continuation of living a healthier life style.
