Our repair expertise extends to handbags and shoes too, so don’t worry if just one element of your wedding ensemble needs some TLC – bring it to us and we will be able to help you.
We take care of the little things
American Dry Cleaning Company provides a wide range of alterations and repairs across all our branches. Our repair and alterations specialists also take care of the little things such as zips, buttons, hook and eye fastenings, lacings and embellishments.
It is often the smallest of details that make an outfit complete. If you have a favourite dress that you love to wear, but the zip keeps coming undone, or the buttons keep popping open on your waistcoat when you sit down, we can carry out even the tiniest of bespoke repairs.
Sometimes it can be a small thing that is causing an issue that only needs a tiny fix, such as fixing buttonholes that have become stretched over time, or fitting a new zip and adding a discreet hook and eye fastening to keep a dress together and prevent the zip from opening.
Invisible mending for accidental damage
All of our branches offer a fast turnaround for repairs and alterations, so if you notice that a favourite outfit has gained a cigarette burn, moth hole, a snag or small tear, you can bring it to us where we can perform invisible mending or reweaving to make the damaged area look as near perfect as possible.
