Celebrate in Style — Without the Wardrobe Stress

Holiday parties are all about sparkle, laughter, and connection. But nothing dims the mood faster than an outfit that almost fits. Whether it’s a dress that’s a little too snug, suit pants that feel off, or a jumpsuit that just won’t zip comfortably, small fit issues can become big distractions when you’re trying to enjoy the season.

The good news? The fix is simple—and sustainable.

Professional alterations can take your favorite holiday looks from “good enough” to “absolutely stunning,” helping you look and feel your best for every event on your calendar.

At Tad More Tailoring, we make it easy to refresh your wardrobe for the holidays. With expert fit adjustments, repairs, and restyling, your go-to outfits can feel brand new—without the cost or waste of shopping for something new.


Why Alterations Are the Secret to a Perfect Holiday Look

Holiday fashion is about confidence. When your clothes fit perfectly, you’re free to relax, mingle, and make memories.

Here’s why investing in alterations is a smart seasonal move:

  • Tailored fit = instant confidence. Clothes that fit well enhance your natural shape and posture.

  • Revive what you already own. A quick hem or tuck can give last year’s outfit new life.

  • Save time (and stress). Skip last-minute shopping—get your wardrobe holiday-ready now.

  • Sustainable style. Alterations reduce textile waste and extend your clothing’s lifespan.


What to Bring to Your Tailor Before the Holidays

If your December calendar is filling up fast, now’s the time to plan your wardrobe strategy. Whether you’re attending an office party, a family dinner, or a New Year’s Eve gala, a few key adjustments can make all the difference.

Here’s what to bring in for alterations:

  1. Formalwear: Dresses, gowns, tuxedos, and suits that need a custom fit.

  2. Seasonal favorites: Sweaters, skirts, or jackets that need a little tailoring to look modern.

  3. Statement pieces: Sequined, velvet, or lace items that require careful handling.

  4. Outerwear: Coats or blazers that need sleeve or waist adjustments.

Pro tip: Bring your shoes and accessories to your fitting. They help ensure perfect length and proportion for your look.

Style Tips for Effortless Holiday Layering

The holiday season calls for cozy yet chic combinations. Here are a few tailoring-inspired tips for mastering your look:

  • Balance fit and flow: Pair tailored pants or skirts with softer, draped tops.

  • Mind your proportions: Tailored sleeves and hems create a polished silhouette, especially under jackets or blazers.

  • Play with texture: Velvet, silk, and wool add richness—but tailoring ensures they drape beautifully.

  • Tailor for comfort: Ask for slight ease in seams if you’ll be dining, dancing, or traveling.
