A PERFECT SOLUTION WHEN IT COMES TO FIT AND FINISH

Nothing feels quite as fine as wearing a brand-new outfit.
However, sometimes buying off the rack doesn’t always fit quite right, and problems sometimes appear. A hemline maybe too long, waist too big/small, sleeves too wide, pant legs too wide, dresses too long, and more. Simple alterations can help fine tune any garment to fit how you like.

Q. Contrary can help with this. Mary and her team are experts in alterations. We offer alterations for all body types and all types of clothing, including clothing purchased from other retailers. We offer professional quality work at competitive pricing. No matter what kind of tailoring needs you have, I’ll deliver quick and professional results.

Our alterations services are just what you need to show the world the essence of your personal style and wear your outfits with confidence.

Privacy First, Always

I have been fortunate to work with high-profile clients, and I remain committed to protecting the integrity of their privacy.
For clients that prefer the highest level of privacy during fitting appointments, I offer in-home or after-hours sessions at my store. All of your measurements are taken by me personally. 

During fittings, the photos I need to collaborate with my tailors are always taken from the shoulders down to prevent identification, and unless you provide me with your explicit consent, I will not share any photos for promotional reasons. 

Call me old-fashioned, but I also refuse to use cloud-based tools for my client records to avoid unwanted eyes on their information. Any personal information is stored on a private device and securely kept on premise.

Simple changes to the garments can make the fit and feel better. Simple adjustments to ready-made clothing can improve the look and feel of a garment. If you are unsure, bring the garment in to review in person
