Provisions for the Modern Wardrobe—
and its alterations.
Exquisite services
An Heirloom Transformation Consultation is a personalized design experience focused on reimagining meaningful garments into new keepsakes. From wedding gowns transformed into christening pieces to beloved garments given new purpose, each consultation honors the story, materials, and craftsmanship of your original piece — creating a one-of-a-kind heirloom made to last for generations.
Custom design is a collaborative, made-to-order service for clients seeking one-of-a-kind garments. From original concepts to carefully reimagined pieces, each project is thoughtfully designed, fitted, and handcrafted with attention to detail, fabric, and longevity. All custom work begins with a consultation.
Every garment deserves to fit as beautifully as it was intended. At The Tailor’s Mercantile, alterations are rooted in vintage tailoring traditions and executed with modern precision. With a background in costume design for film and television, each piece is approached with a trained eye for structure, movement, and proportion.
Services range from hemming, tapering, and resizing to more complex structural alterations, including lining work, garment reconstruction, and specialty fittings. Whether refining an everyday wardrobe staple, formalwear, or a cherished piece, each adjustment is made to enhance both comfort and silhouette while preserving the integrity of the original design.
All fittings are offered by appointment to ensure a thoughtful, personalized experience. This is not fast fashion tailoring — it is considered craftsmanship, informed by decades of hands-on experience and finished with care, patience, and respect for the garment’s history.
