Already love it? Have it tailored back to life.
Send a photo of the jacket, the jeans, the wedding dress — whatever needs work — and get a price offer back from a local master tailor. Choose how the garment travels there and home again, and pay only once you have accepted the offer.
Explore alterations
Most clothes are thrown away over a centimetre.
A dress hemmed for the wrong shoes, a suit jacket that gapes at the collar, a zip that gave up on a winter coat. An alteration is usually a fraction of the price of replacing the piece — and the garment you already know keeps its place in your wardrobe.
You send a photograph. We send back a price.
Nothing is charged until you accept a price from a named tailor.
- 01 · Ask
Find a tailor and describe the job
Filter by city and by the work a store actually takes on — hemming trousers, taking in a dress, relining a coat, bridal fitting work — then start a chat. Send a photo of the garment and say what needs doing.
- 02 · Offer
Get a price, not an estimate
The tailor sends a formal offer: the work, the price, how the piece gets to them and how it comes back. Nothing is charged while you think about it, and the offer expires rather than lingering.
- 03 · Send
Drop it off, book a pickup, or ship it
Accept the offer and the order is created. You choose how the garment reaches the atelier, and the tailor confirms receipt in the app so you always know where your piece is.
- 04 · Wear
Altered, then back to you
You follow each stage — received, in alteration, ready — and the garment returns the way you chose: shipped back, collected, or picked up in person.
The jobs a tailor actually takes in
A catalogue of real services, not a contact form
Every store publishes the work it takes on — taking in, letting out, shortening, relining, mending, restoration — so you can search for the job you actually have.

Stores can also list the labels they work on and add services of their own, so speciality work — a designer piece, an heirloom, something with no standard name — has somewhere to go.
Choose each leg of the journey
The way in and the way home are chosen separately, on the offer, before you accept it.
To the tailor
- Drop it off at the atelier yourself
- Have it collected from your address
- Ship it to the store
Back to you
- Shipped back to your address
- Collected from the store
- Returned by hand at the counter
What protects you
You see the price first
The tailor's quote states the work and the amount, whether it is a simple hem or a full reconstruction. Nothing is charged until you accept it.
The tailor has to accept too
A named tailor has to take your job on before anything begins. If nobody takes it, the order ends there and your money comes back to you.
Cancel while it is still with you
Change your mind before the garment leaves your hands and you are refunded in full. Once it is with a carrier or the atelier, the return leg has to be paid for, and that is deducted from the refund.
Every stage is on the record
The price you were quoted, what you asked for and where your garment is are all in one place, so you and the tailor are never working from different versions of the same story.
Alteration questions
- How much does an alteration cost?
- The tailor quotes it. Resizing a pair of jeans, relining a coat and reworking a wedding dress are different jobs, and prices vary by the garment, the work and the city — which is why an alteration starts with a photo and a chat rather than a price list.
- Do I have to buy the garment from TerzyApp?
- No. Alterations are for clothes you already own, whatever their origin — bought years ago, inherited, or made by someone else entirely.
- How does the garment get to the tailor?
- Three ways, and you pick one on the offer: drop it off yourself, have it collected from your address, or ship it. The return journey is chosen the same way and can be different from the way in.
- What happens if I cancel?
- If the garment has not left you yet, you are refunded in full. Once it is with a carrier or at the atelier, someone has to pay to send it home, so a return-shipping amount is deducted from the refund.
- Can a tailor work on a designer piece?
- Stores list the labels they take on, alongside their own speciality services. Naming a label is a statement about the work a store does, not a claim to be authorised by that brand.
- Can I have new clothes made instead?
- Yes — the same tailors also make garments from scratch to your measurements, and sell cloth by the metre.
