Frequently Asked Tailor / Alteration Questions
Do I need to make an appointment for alterations?
For basic alterations and minor repairs (like fixing a zipper, replacing a button, mending a tear, or adding a patch), no appointment is necessary! You can walk right into any of our 6 tailoring locations. However, for complex alterations like suits, formalwear, or wedding gowns, we highly recommend scheduling a fitting appointment at one of our 6 dedicated tailor shop locations to ensure you get undivided attention from our lead tailors
How long do tailoring and alterations usually take?
Most standard tailoring and alteration services are completed within one week. For more intricate adjustments, heavy leather items, or formal wedding dress alterations, please allow two to three weeks. Don’t worry about guessing when it's done—we will notify you via text or email as soon as your garment is ready for pickup!
Which Pilgrim Dry Cleaners locations have an experienced tailor on-site?
While all 28 of our neighborhood locations can accept simple mending and repairs, we have six specialized master tailor shop locations across the Twin Cities —equipped with private fitting rooms and on-site master tailors for custom, complex fittings.
Can I get my clothes tailored through your Home & Office Pickup & Delivery service?
Yes! If you know the exact measurements or have an item already pinned to your liking, you can absolutely include it in your twice-a-week home or office pickup route. Best of all, the pricing for our tailoring and alteration services is exactly the same as it is in our retail stores, and we never enforce a minimum order requirement.
Why don’t you have a standard pricing list for alterations on your website?
Because every garment is uniquely constructed! We price each alteration individually after carefully inspecting the fabric content, the item's inner lining, care labels, and the complexity of the stitching required. Our staff or on-site tailor will gladly provide you with a transparent, estimated quote when you bring your items in for inspection.
Do I need to bring anything specific to a formal fitting?
Yes! For suits, tuxedos, prom dresses, and wedding gowns, we highly recommend bringing the exact shoes and undergarments you plan to wear with the outfit. A difference in shoe heel height or undergarment structure completely changes how a gown bustles, how a dress hangs, or where a pant hem should break.
Can you handle delicate materials, heavy outerwear, and leather alterations?
Absolutely. Our professional tailors are highly trained in handling a massive variety of specialties. We can reshape delicate costumes, adjust seams on intricate bridal lace, and even handle heavy wool coats. For leather jackets or outerwear, please note that tailoring can take between two to four weeks due to the heavy, specialized machinery required to safely alter leather and suede.
Can you accommodate fittings for an entire wedding party or group?
Yes, we love helping bridal and groom parties look their absolute best! We can easily coordinate and schedule group fittings for your entire wedding party to ensure consistent, perfectly matched tailoring across all suits, tuxedos, and bridesmaids' dresses. Please contact us ahead of time to reserve a dedicated group time block with our master tailors
