Before your alterations

Before bringing your item to Marieka’s:

  • Wash your garment/s

If applicable, bring or wear:

  • The bra you will wear most under the garment (e.g. top, dress) - some bras can make garments sit differently on you! Mostly applicable for bridal or formalwear.

  • The shoes you are going to wear most with the garment (e.g. jeans, pants, dress) - especially important for pants and formalwear - and not just applicable for garments to be worn with high heels!

A changing room is available.
