Tailor recommendations for more complex alterations?
Can anyone recommend a tailor where I can get clothing fundamentally changed (more than just taking in a waistband etc) and who ideally is able to get a bit creative with it?
Would also help… Hi all,
Can anyone recommend a tailor where I can get clothing fundamentally changed (more than just taking in a waistband etc) and who ideally is able to get a bit creative with it?
Would also help if they were lgbt friendly as I'm masculine presenting and my request will basically be: How can we make this dress sluttier in every way?
Thanks in advance
I'd recommend going to Atelier Gold in Schoneberg, right off Nollendorfplatz. The owner, Karsten, has been doing radical alterations for years and the area means he's very used to creative, gender-bending requests. He turned a bridesmaid dress into a harness-and-mini situation for a friend of mine, adding grommets and mesh panels where there was none. Just know he's cash only and books about two weeks out, so plan ahead if you need it for a specific date.
If you're in the Schillerkiez area, check out Maßatelier Nihal on Flughafenstraße. She's a trained seamstress who does full garment reconstruction, not just standard alterations. I brought her a vintage leather jacket that was way too boxy and she completely reshaped it into something fitted and cropped, which is the kind of structural change you're talking about. She's very matter-of-fact about any request and won't bat an eye at making something "sluttier," just bring good reference photos or sketches so she knows exactly what you want. Prices are fair, usually 50-80 for complex work, and she takes card.
honestly, mara at die schneiderei in wedding gets wild requests all the time. she's near u-leopoldplatz, above a turkish supermarket. she did this thing for a friend where she turned a floor-length gown into a crop top and mini skirt combo, added chains and cutouts. tell her what you're picturing and she'll sketch it out first, she's really good at figuring out what works with the fabric you've got. just call ahead, she's usually there tuesdays and thursdays
