Trouser Hemming

The right length makes every outfit look better

Trousers that are too long drag and fray, and ones that are too short are hard to fix. We pin the hem with you at the counter, set to the shoes you wear most, and finish it neatly. We hem suit trousers, chinos, jeans, skirts and shorts, and we can also adjust the waist if the fit needs it.

Expert tips

Trouser hemming tips

A few tips help you get the length right.

Wear the right shoes

The length depends on your shoes, so wear the pair you will wear most.

Choose the break

Decide whether you want a slight break, no break or a turn-up.

Do not cut it yourself

Leave spare fabric in the hem in case you want to lengthen later.

Wash first if they may shrink

Wash or press new trousers before hemming if they might shrink.

“Elegance managed to get a horrible huge espresso martini stain out of a brand new silk dress. The likelihood of removing it was very low but they managed! Absolute saviours – an amazing service!!”
