Alterations and Garment Repairs

A great fit brings out your best, and Alex’s Dry Cleaning Valet has professional tailors to make that happen!

When your wardrobe collection is filled with high-fashion dresses, business suits, and designer brands, you expect each piece to be a lasting investment in quality, fit, and style. So it’s disappointing to find holes, tears, or signs of wear after only one use. The excitement of buying it, the money spent, and the occasions you planned to wear it suddenly feel wasted as it sits in your closet, seemingly unwearable.

And even those everyday pieces you reach for time and again – your favorite jeans, a well-loved blazer, or that perfect sweater – deserve the same care. Rather than letting them gather dust, these pieces can be given new life with expert alterations and repairs.

If you desire to make your favorite garments functional again and fit even better this time,

Our alterations and repair service at Alex's Dry Cleaning Valet is designed with your needs in mind!
