Alterations
Make what you own fit
Taking in, letting out, hemming, relining and repairs — on anything, wherever you bought it. Walk into any branch, no appointment, and most of it is back with you in a day or two.
No appointment
Walk in at any of our 10 branches with the garment.
Priced in front of you
Pinned on you and quoted before anything is cut. You approve first.
Back in a day or two
Most alterations, not weeks. Tell us if your date is tighter than that.
What we alter
Six kinds of work, done properly
Taking in and letting out
Jackets, trousers, skirts and dresses brought to your actual size.
Hemming
Trousers, sleeves, skirts and dresses shortened and finished properly.
Relining
A worn or torn lining replaced without touching the outside of the garment.
Zips and seams
Replaced or restitched, including on bags and heavier garments.
Bridal and matric gowns
Fitted ahead of the day, in as many sittings as it takes.
Anything bought elsewhere
Most of our alteration work is on garments we did not make.
How it works
Four steps, fifteen minutes
- Walk in. Bring the garment and, where it matters, the shoes you will wear with it. Trouser length cannot be judged without them.
- Pin and quote. We pin the change on you and price it before any work starts. You approve the quote first.
- The work. Taking in, letting out, hemming, relining, zips, seams and repairs. Bridal and matric dance gowns included.
- Collection. Try it on before you leave. If something is still not right, we fix it.
Questions
Before you come in
Do I need an appointment?
No. Walk into any branch with the garment. We pin the change on you and price it while you are there, and no work starts until you have approved the quote.
Do you alter garments I did not buy from Flux?
Yes. Most of our alteration work is on garments bought elsewhere, including bridal gowns. Some garments cannot be altered well, and we will tell you that rather than take the money.
What should I bring?
The shoes you intend to wear with it. Trouser and skirt length cannot be judged without them, and it is the single most common reason a hem has to be redone.
What does an alteration cost?
It depends on the garment and the work. We price it in front of you before anything is cut, so you decide with the number already in hand. A deposit may be asked for on larger jobs.
