Expert Garment Alteration &
Custom Tailoring Boutique
It can be frustrating to find the perfect dress, but not have it in a certain size. With the increasing demand of size inclusivity, there is a need for fashion brands to design for customers of all sizes. At Luxtailor we offer expert tailoring to fit all body types and sizes.
We had a special client of ours who found the perfect gown, but couldn’t find in her size. We offered the solution of combining two of the gowns to make into the perfect size for her. She purchased two Marchesa-Note cape-effect crepe gowns and sent them to our studio as she is from out of state. We had a few Facetime fittings with her to take her measurements and see the proper fit of the gown. We incorporated both gowns together while maintaining the original design of the cape and tulle yoke encrusted with beaded flowers. The client is beyond pleased with the overall result.
Size should not be a limit to style and quality. There are endless possibilities to transform pieces for a proper fit. With our help, we can create that perfect dress for you.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Here are some exclusive photos from our studio.

From using leftover fabric to restyling a garment, it’s possible to be eco-friendly with your clothes. Sustainable fashion is an eco-friendly approach to designing, manufacturing and consuming clothing as way to reduce the harm to our environment. It’s also a method to preserve clothing using recycled materials in order to reduce waste. With the technological advances in the 1950s, mass manufacturing increased and resulted in overproduction of clothes over time.
At Luxtailor, we follow sustainable methods of not only mending & altering clothing, reviving client’s beloved garments, we also reuse and upcycle materials.
We had a pleasure of meeting Kate McGuire the Founder of Converted Closet. The mission of Converted Closet is to create sustainable fashion by finding vintage pieces and modernize them.
We had an opportunity to be part of one of Kate’s projects where she transformed an old cape by relining it with a fabulous textile that she found as leftover from an interior designer project and replacing the binding with leather.
Here are the exclusive behind the scenes from our studio.

The tailor replaced the original lining with a print upholstery fabric that was used from leftover scraps of curtains.
The idea of the cape design was to make the cape to be worn as Reversible.
Alterations included adding fusible to the fabric to balance the weight of the lining. Using the original fabric as the pattern to trace the body of the cape and hood.
In addition to replacing the lining, the binding along the front closure, pockets and closure loop were upgraded to a beautiful brown leather that is a perfect contrast to the canary yellow fabric.
It modernizes the overall look of the cape and we were thrilled to present the end result to Kate.
We were lucky to be featured on Kate’s IGTV special featuring the behind the process of how she transformed her beautiful cape.

We were very lucky to work on such a beautiful gown for the Met Gala after the hiatus from the prior event due to the pandemic.
We had the opportunity to perform alterations for the Spanish songstress, Rosalia, for the 2021 Met Gala.
Rosalia wore a Rick Owens coat featured floor length fringe made out of leather paired with fringed shorts. The coat itself had a train as long as the staircases at the front entrance. It was truly a work of art to see in person.
We worked on alterations for this beautiful polka dot dress designed by Prabal Gurung for the actress, Kimiko Glenn. The dress featuring drapery along with the sides with dramatic puffed sleeves and pleated skirt. The look was featured for one of the New York Fashion week events.

We are beyond excited to hear about the return of the Met Gala. It used to be scheduled the first Monday in May. The scheduled date for this year will be September 13th and the theme will honor American fashion. The exhibition will feature men & women’s fashion from the 18th century until now. With designers like Zac Posen, Ralph Lauren & Michael Kors to the list a few among the trailblazers in American fashion, we are anticipating an unforgettable spectacle.
As we look forward to the upcoming event, here are some exclusive photos from the past Met Gala events that we helped with alterations.
We had the pleasure of working on this stunning feather gown designed by Alberta Ferreti worn by Janet Mock for the 2019 Met Gala Event, Camp: Notes on Fashion. This gown was even more incredible in person. Our tailors were in awe of how impeccable the beadwork was. From the feathers to the metallic payettes, Janet looked absolutely divine.
We also worked on this a metal payette jacket designed by Alberta Ferretti for the 2019 Met Gala After Party. The jacket looked multi-dimensional since there were multiple panels of different sequin shapes in the design.
For the 2019 Event, we worked on the tuexedo for Jeremy Scott.
The look featured a black tuxedo with an encrusted harness and belt by Moschino.
Maluma wore a bejeweled white tuxedo jacket designed by Moschino on the Pink Carpet for the 2019 Met Gala.
We had the pleasure to work on this purple gown designed by Alberta Ferretti for Princess Beatrice of York. With the bejeweled straps and ruching along the sleeves and front, this gown was truly enigmatic in person.
We altered this Moschino encrusted gown for Stella Maxwell for the 2018 Met Gala Event: Heavenly Bodies. The encrusted beaded gown featured religious icons motifs and mutliple leather belts.
We altered this Moschino bejeweled jacket for Jeremey Scott for the 2018 Met Gala. The intricate and heavy beading definitely makes this look a show stopper.
Coco Rocha wore a leopard gown designed by Emmanuel Ungaro for the 2013 Met Gala Event, Punk: Chaos to Couture.
Allison Williams wears a red Giambattista Valli gown for the 2015 Met Event, China: Through the Looking Glass.
