Even clothes from top designers don’t always fit right off the rack. When you find your next must-have for this season, buy the next size up and bring in to us. Our expert onsite alterations department will tailor your new “fashion must have” to custom perfection!
Reconstructed clothing is the new big thing in green fashion trends. How can you get in on the new fad? Recycle your favorite clothes - turn those khakis into shorts or that bridesmaid gown into a great new cocktail dress. Our seamstresses and tailors are able to transform most anything into something new, with a few snips and hems.
Are you getting prepared for that big 2012 New Year’s Eve Gala event? Don’t worry about wrinkles from the department store or your closet – bring us your holiday wear and ask about our “press only” prices. And if your dinner jacket or tuxedo fits a little snugger than it did last year, our tailoring department can add a little breathing room around the middle. We will have you looking your best to ring in 2012!
Texture, texture, texture – this is the new mantra for fashion divas during the winter 2011 season. High fashion is making its mark with soft furs, lace, leather, tweeds and even plastic – luxury, countryside chic, and edgy military looks dominate the trend. Check out the video of classic designer Oscar de la Renta’s Winter 2011 collection – he brings this new hot trend together in one must-have piece after another.
With the winter holidays around the corner, it’s time now to get take out those napkins, runners and tablecloths. Bring them to us for pre-gathering pressing and after-event cleaning. We use the utmost care when handling your household items – and we know exactly how to clean all of your household items – even grandma’s hand-embroidered linens – to keep them looking new year after year!
Have you noticed a change in how your finished dry cleaning looks? Using fewer plastic bags, clips and paper covers is one smart way we can help save valuable resources. As we strive to become more eco-friendly we are finding ways to cut back on excess use without sacrificing quality. Ask us more eco-friendly ways to cut back on your next visit.
• You can protect your skin with sun blockers, your eyes with UV sunglasses, and your hair with a cap, but aside from walking the streets with a parasol, there is no such protection from the sun for your clothes.
• The same sun that lightens your hair color, will also lighten the color in your clothes. As would be expected, the color loss will be more apparent in dark color garments.
• Shirts are most susceptible, with prime areas being the shoulder area, the back, and if you tuck your shirt in, above the waistline.
• Perspiration, in combination with the sun will accelerate the process.
• Prompt laundering or professional cleaning after each wearing is strongly recommended.
