Working to an event date? Say so when you call or check in. If the work fits the timeline we will tell you; if it does not, we will tell you that too, before you make the trip. Repairs can also travel with your regular pickup and delivery.
Before You Come In
Bring the shoes. Hem length depends entirely on the shoes you will wear with the garment, and heel height changes everything. The same goes for the belt, the jacket, or whatever else the piece is worn with.
Plan to try it on. Alterations are marked on you, not measured from a chart. Wear or bring what you would normally wear underneath so the fit is judged accurately. No appointment is needed; walk in during store hours. Bringing in a wedding gown? Call first for a time estimate, then bring it in.
Check the return window first. If a garment was bought online and does not fit, it usually cannot be returned once it has been altered. Make sure you want to keep it before we cut anything.
The Process
This Is How We Work
Three steps, and you know the price and the date after the first one.
-
Drop Off and Get Marked
Bring the garment to the counter, or send repairs with your pickup. We look at it with you, mark what needs doing, and give you the price and a ready-by date before any work starts.
-
Sewn Here, by Hand
Our tailors do the work on site. Every stitch, seam and adjustment is done to hold up to wear, not just to look right on the hanger. Most jobs are done in 2–3 business days.
-
Pressed and Ready
Your garment comes back pressed and packaged, ready to collect in store or delivered to your door, fitting the way it was meant to.
Why Palm Luxe
Why Bring It Here
Four things that are true every time you hand us a garment
-
Tailors On Site
The work happens here, not at a facility three towns away. We can look at a garment with you, talk through what is possible, and adjust if something is not sitting right.
-
Priced Before We Start
You get the cost at the counter, based on the garment in front of us, before a single stitch is cut. No surprise on the ticket when you pick up.
-
Back in 2–3 Business Days
Most alterations and repairs are ready in 2–3 business days; zipper replacements can take up to 4. Leather and wedding gowns are given a time estimate when you call. Your ready-by date is confirmed at drop-off, and if you are working to an event we tell you up front whether it fits.
-
Altered, Cleaned and Pressed
One place for the whole job. A hem, a clean and a press on the same ticket, and it can go out with your regular pickup and delivery.
Common Questions
Alterations & Tailoring Questions
What customers ask before bringing a garment in
Alterations are priced per job, based on the garment, the fabric, and what the work involves. A straight hem and a rebuilt jacket are not the same job. We quote you at the counter before any work begins, so you always know the cost up front. Call (561) 530-4881 and describe the garment for an estimate before you come in.
Most alterations and repairs are ready in 2–3 business days, and zipper replacements can take up to 4. Leather repairs and wedding gowns vary by the piece, so call and we will give you a time estimate. Your exact ready-by date is confirmed at drop-off.
Call and tell us the date before you make the trip. If the work fits the timeline, we will say so. If it does not, we will tell you that too, rather than take the garment and disappoint you later.
No. Walk in during store hours and we will look at the garment with you and mark it on the spot. If you are bringing in a wedding gown, call first for a time estimate, then bring it in.
For anything fit-related, yes. Alterations are marked on you rather than measured from a chart. Bring the shoes you will wear with the piece, since heel height changes hem length completely, along with the belt or jacket it is worn with.
Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons people come in. Check the retailer's return window first: once a garment has been altered it usually cannot be returned, so be sure you want to keep it before we cut anything.
Yes. Hem, bodice, straps and bustle. Call first and we will give you a time estimate for the work, then bring the gown in with the shoes, undergarments and every accessory you will wear so it is marked exactly as you will wear it. After the wedding, gown preservation is a separate service, and alterations should always come first.
Sometimes. It depends on how much seam allowance the manufacturer left inside the garment, and that varies enormously. Bring the piece in and we can look at the seams and tell you what is actually there to work with.
Yes. Sleeves, trouser hems, waist and jacket sides are the usual jobs. Bring the dress shirt and shoes you will wear with the suit so the sleeve and hem lengths are marked correctly.
Yes. Leather jackets and handbags for tears, zippers, and color and finish work, and fur for tears and damage. Timing depends on the piece, so call for a time estimate. For cleaning rather than repair, see Leather & Suede.
Repairs like buttons, zippers and seams can, since they do not need a fitting. Leave a note in the bag describing what needs doing. Anything fit-related, like a hem or a waist adjustment, is best marked on you at the counter so it comes back right the first time.
