What We do
Alterations
Many homecoming dresses, prom gowns, or wedding and bride maids dresses require professional adjustments for a customized, comfortable, seamless fit. Fortunately, the tailors at Ari Tailoring specialize in offering a wide range of formal gown alteration options. We can even work with vintage homecoming and formal dresses featuring unique fabrics and embellishments.
Custom Garmets
At Air Tailoring we offer services for both custom and bespoke garments. Fittings are performed with unfinished garments, allowing our team to perfect your fit during the process. Your custom garments are handmade to your body and preferences by investing many man-hours into each bespoke outfit from our professional cutters, sewers, and buttonhole makers. We pay special attention to each of your measurements, as well as, your personal style appointments. With incredible custom fitting garments, you will have increased confidence because when you look good, you feel good. Bespoke tailoring brings you to your full potential and allows you to focus on the task at hand, knowing that you are presenting your best self to the world.
Alterations
For a simple garment fix, our alterations specialists are the right choice. Our alterations expert usually attends to simple tasks such as hemming of a dress or skirt, shortening of pants or adjusting the waistline of a garment, while our tailors are trained to find out-of-the-box solutions. Our tailors also have special skill and training needed to tackle tricky refitting situations. Our experienced tailors know the secret to making the necessary modifications – without leaving any visible clues. When you find a tailor and alterations expert like Shahnaz Ben Selma, stick with her. You’ll build an important relationship with an expert who, like a best friend, will understand what you want as soon as you walk in the door. Isn’t that the best custom-fit of all?

Organic Dry Cleaning
Did you know that three out of four drycleaners across the U.S. use a toxic chemical called perchloroethylene (PERC) for cleaning your clothes? Perchloroethylene is widely popular because it is cheap and evaporates easily into the air - hence the "dry" in drycleaning. Long-term exposure to PERC can cause serious harm and even increase your risk to cancer. We use only organic cleaning solvents that are approved by the EPA, and which can actually extend the life of your garments as well as make them look and feel better. Our mission is to provide our customers with the very best in cleaning services and expert alterations for all of their garment, household linens, and restoration needs.

How it works?
Tailors are a bit like barbers. It can take a bit of work to find a good one, and once you do, you should hold on to them for dear life. The quality of your alterations depends on the quality of your tailor and here at Ari Tailoring your needs are our number one priority.
The easiest way to improve your wardrobe is to bring them to us. Since all clothes are designed for an ideal body, they often fit you and others differently. That means you can often improve the look of your clothes by having things nipped and tucked here and there — taking in the waist or shortening the sleeves, adjusting the length of your trousers so they fall perfectly over your shoes. For a few bucks, you can get off-the-rack clothes that look 90% on their way to being custom made just for you! You can also purchase your own fabric and have us custom tailor it to be or of a kind just for you.
The Process
Figuring out what can be altered heavily depends on a case-by-case basis. There aren’t any hard and fast rules, but our expert seamstress will meet with you to discuss your specific needs.
Because garments are tailored to fit your body specifically, our tailors need to spend some time with you to take accurate measurements and determine your goals for the garment. You can get the most out of your appointment with our tailors by following these tips:
- Make an appointment or call ahead.
- Take your time. Expect us to take several careful measurements, which can take time.
- Come prepared. Bring all of the undergarments, dress shoes and accessories you plan to wear with the garment.
- Share your thoughts. It's very important to communicate with our tailors as you're being measured and while trying on the garment for pinning. Your style and preferences are as unique as your body shape, and our tailors expect you to share your opinions while working on the garment to ensure your satisfaction.
- Try the clothing on before you leave. When picking up the clothing after it's been altered, try it on at our shop. If it's not perfect, our tailors can likely address any further changes before you leave. Remember, when you’re happy, we are happy!
At Ari Tailoring, our alterations tailor specializes in altering clothing for adjustments and repairs. We understand that when you look good, we look good!
