About Alteration Atelier

Tailoring with a redesign mindset

We remodel and alter garments with a careful eye for fit, fabric, and reuse.

Alteration Atelier focuses on tailoring, garment remodelling, and upcycling for pieces that deserve a second life. From fit updates to redesign work, every project begins with a close look at the garment's construction and condition.

We work by appointment so each piece can be assessed properly before any quote is confirmed. That process helps us set clear expectations, discuss design options, and plan the work around the garment itself.

Our story

A clear process for every garment

Our work combines practical alterations with redesign thinking, so garments can be worn again with purpose.

2023Years in operation

20 to 60 minutesAppointment-based fitting window

Founded in 2023

The studio was established to support customers who want more from the clothes they already own. That includes vintage pieces, sentimental garments, and items that need a new shape or a more wearable fit.

Led by Leyla Abasova

Each project follows a clear sequence: inquiry, assessment, redesign consultation, scope and quote, approval, remodelling, review, and collection. This keeps the process transparent and helps protect the original garment during the work.

Built around careful review

When materials can be reused, we look for ways to preserve strong sections and match finishing details where available. If a requested change depends on the fabric, construction, or condition, we explain those limits before the work is approved.

Why it matters

Careful work, clear expectations

Our values shape how we handle each piece, from the first assessment to the final review.

Fit first

We begin with a fitting or garment review before confirming the scope of work. That approach helps us assess seams, fabric, and construction before any final quote is set.

Redesign with limits in mind

Redesign work is planned around the usable parts of the original garment. We review the concept carefully so the result reflects both the material and the intended use.

Clear scope

We provide a written alteration scope and ask for approval before any additional work is added. That keeps the project aligned with the agreed design from start to finish.

Material matching

Whenever available, we aim to match thread and trim to the original garment. If exact materials are not available, we discuss the closest practical option before proceeding.
