There's tailoring, and then there's transformation. ✨️ We took this iconic Pucci and made it modern, shortened the hem, reshaped the neckline, and removed the sleeves.
At Alts, we specialize in redesigning vintage and designer pieces so they evolve with you, not sit archived in your closet.

Want to raise a neckline without leaving a trace? Enter the Ladder Stitch!
🪡 This hand sewing technique seamlessly joins two folded edges of fabric. The tailor stitches back and forth between the folds (creating a "ladder" shape), and when the thread is pulled tight, the seam closes up and the thread disappears!
Tailors rely on it to seamlessly close up inner linings, finish cuffs without visible topstitching, repair split seams, or (like our expert tailor is doing in this video) close up a low neckline for a more comfortable fit.

Cropping a jacket isn't always as simple as a hem! To keep the proportions looking completely natural on this spring coat, our tailor scaled down the patch pockets to match the new length.
We love the new length, and retained functionality of this fun piece! Have a garment in your closet that needs adjustments? Bring it in for a complimentary consultation! 🪡✨ #JacketAlterations #Tailoring #SpringWardrobe #CroppedJacket #beforeandafter
Ever wondered what goes into altering a complex, multi-layered garment? 🪡 Here is a “behind the seams” look at how our expert tailor took in the sides of this dress.
-He started by detaching the ruffle trim to ensure the original style isn't lost during alteration.
- This dress features 3 layers where the bodice meets the skirt. While some shops would sew them all together to save time, our tailor separates and takes in each layer individually.
- Doing this means the fabric moves naturally, preventing awkward bunching and keeping scratchy mesh out of the inner seams.
-He tapered the skirt on all 3 layers to flawlessly match the newly fitted bodice.
-The ruffle trim was then carefully reattatched. The style is retained and the sides are expertly tailored for a great fit!

Finding the right hem length can completely change how your jeans and trousers fit and feel. The right hem creates balance, elongates the leg, and feels intentional.
Whether you’re tailoring denim, hemming trousers, or updating old jeans for a more modern silhouette, a professional hem can make all the difference.
Which hem length are you choosing: floor-grazing, shoe-skimming, or ankle crop? 👖✂️

Love the distressed edge on your jeans but hate the length? 👖✂️
A standard hem chops off that cool factory fading. Instead, ask for an Original Hem. We carefully remove that perfectly worn-in edge, shorten the denim, and seamlessly reattach the distressed hem at your new length.
Keep the lived-in look, lose the extra fabric! #Tailoring #Alterations #OriginalHem #DenimHacks #Sustainablefashion
Not sure about the length of your wedding gown? We've got you! Here, tailor Emilia uses a basting stitch to temporarily set this lace hem, so our bride can try on before we make the alterations permanent.
It's the ultimate bridal tailoring hack for an stress-free wedding dress fitting!

Obsessed with @kaylor.martin 's Coachella look, pants altered by us. ✨️
Huge shoutout to Fontaine at our Seaport studio! The design was a puzzle of individual crochet pieces that she completely deconstructed and rearranged to get the perfect fit. Kaylor looked incredible, and we’re so happy we could bring her vision to life! 💕🪡🎡
