Expert Repairs & Custom Alterations for Your Entire Wardrobe
Clothing Alterations
Plaza Cleaners offers professional alteration services for customers who need garments tailored or repaired. Our experienced seamstress offers fitting appointments (typically on Tuesday evenings) and can handle a variety of repairs including:
- Hem adjustments
- Seam repairs
- Button replacement
- Zipper repair
Re-Weaving
Re-weaving is a specialized repair technique used to fix small holes or tears in fabric by weaving matching fibers into the damaged area.
When done correctly, the repair is often nearly invisible. This process is especially useful for business suits, allowing you to restore garments at a fraction of the cost of replacement.
Most alterations are completed within about one week after fitting.
Alterations & Re-Weaving FAQ's
Do I need to make an appointment for a fitting?
While we can often accommodate walk-ins for simple tasks like pant hems, we recommend scheduling an appointment for complex alterations, such as bridal wear, formal gowns, or full-suit tailoring. This ensures our lead tailor has dedicated time to provide a precise fitting.
How long do typical alterations take?
Most standard alterations—such as hems, sleeve adjustments, or waist tapering—are completed within 3 to 7 business days. If you have a specific deadline, like a wedding or an interview, please let us know so we can accommodate your schedule.
Should I bring my shoes to a hem fitting?
Absolutely. To get the "break" of the pant or the length of a dress exactly right, you should bring the specific shoes you plan to wear with the garment. Even a half-inch difference in heel height can change the look of the finished product.
Can every fabric be re-woven?
Re-weaving works best on natural, high-quality woven fabrics like wool, gabardine, and linen. Knitted fabrics or very thin silks may require different "invisible mending" techniques. We recommend bringing the item in for a free assessment to see if it is a candidate for the process.
Can you replace zippers or fix snaps?
Yes. We can replace broken zippers on everything from trousers and skirts to heavy winter jackets. We also offer professional replacement of buttons, snaps, and clasps to ensure your favorite items remain functional.

"They are extremely nice and did a fantastic job."
I met the owner and he and his wife are very respectful and love taking care of their customers. They even sewed on a new button for a suit without charging me. They also cleaned paint from my blazer, which I thought was impossible. They have a life long customer now.

"Highly recommend this company for all dry cleaning needs"
Plaza Cleaners expertly cleaned a pair of Uggs that had been stained with syrup in streaks. When we picked them up, they looked like brand new! I was surprised that there were no remnants of syrup or anything that looked like it on the boots.

"Amazing experience at Plaza Cleaners"
Amazing experience at Plaza Cleaners. Brought my dress to get cleaned after 3 failed attempts @ Tide Cleaners. Plaza Cleaners were able to get all the stains out and make my dress look like new and ready to wear. Thank you!
