ABOUT OUR SERVICES

Great Service For Over 65 Years

Willard's is a family-owned business that has been providing excellent tailoring for decades. We do all kinds of alterations and repairs, including repairing leather vests and jackets, replacing zippers, altering wedding and prom dresses, sewing patches onto military uniforms, and a whole lot more.

Quick Service*

Got an interview in two days and need your pants hemmed? We’ve got you covered. We believe in fast service with excellent quality, so Next-Day Service* is available on most of our regular alterations.

*Due to being short-staffed, we are not currently able to offer Next-Day Service, except for emergencies. Our wait times for regular alterations have increased, so please be sure to leave ample time (up to a few weeks) for your alterations to be finished or call ahead to check our wait times if you have a specific request.

Appointment-Free Fittings

We always accept walk-in fittings, whether it be a wedding gown, a suit, repairs, or simply a pant hem. Drop by any time during our normal business hours for repairs and alterations alike.

*For 3 or more clothing items, please allow at least 30 minutes prior to closing for fittings.

*Wedding/Formal Gowns: please allow at least 45 minutes prior to closing for fittings, unless you have prior approval.

OUR FITTING PROCESS

How do I get my clothes altered?

Need something altered? Stop by any time during our normal business hours. Again, please be sure to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to our closing time if you have a large order or require fitting for more complicated alterations (such as formal gowns). This is to ensure that we have ample time to mark your garments!

Once you arrive, we will have you try on any items that require fitting. We highly recommend trying on your items so that our experienced seamstresses can mark them, which will help to ensure that you get the fit you want.

Special Instructions:

Please be sure to bring proper shoes if your garment needs hemming (for example, the correct dress shoes for your suit or dress slacks, the correct height of heels that you will wear with your dress, etc.). In addition, be sure to wear the proper undergarments with formal or wedding dresses, as this may affect the fit of the garment.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to call us!
