Seams, linings, closures, and wear, restored where the construction allows.

Fit Guide

Where a few millimeters can change everything

Small shifts add up. A shoulder that sits a little too far out, a sleeve a little too long, or a break that lands in the wrong place all change how a garment looks and feels.

Questions about alterations

Not always. Construction, seam allowance, fabric, and design decide what is practical, and a tailor can say more after an in-person look.

Often, for garments you already like. It depends on the quality of the piece, how often you would wear it, and how it fits now.

Usually, provided the construction allows for the changes you want.

No. Marlowe Atelier is a fictional Site Proper concept. Nothing on this site can be booked or purchased.

Bring it in, and let's take a look.

Most alterations start with a quick evaluation of the garment and how you wear it.
