Preparing for your visit
To get the best results from your appointment at Sewing Primer, bring the exact shoes and undergarments you plan to wear with the garment. This allows the tailor to pin and measure accurately the first time. If you're bringing a formal dress or suit, include any accessories — belts, slips, or support wear — that affect how the garment sits on your body. Most alteration shops in Chicago recommend booking at least two weeks ahead, and longer during prom and wedding season when demand peaks.
