Trouser Alterations
With over 40 years of experience in Trouser Alterations, Diko's Alterations Boutique in Brooklyn New York have the expertise to alter your trousers to perfection. For trousers that are loose or tight on the waist, we can quickly and effectively reduce or increase the size by adjusting the centre back seam. After fitting with our Master Tailor, we can also determine the perfect shape of the seat and raise or let down the fork when necessary. For a closer fit and neater silhouette, we taper (narrow) trousers either fully or partly. For a subtle taper, we would remove excess fabric from the inside leg seam. For a more drastic change, we can reduce the leg width by removing the fabric from both the inside and outside leg seams. We shorten trousers by hand so that the stitching is invisible from the outside. We can replace belt loops with more traditional side adjusters by using excess fabric from the hem of the trouser.
*If you have questions about the process, please email or call us and we will gladly clarify *
