Our team can shorten, take in or re-hem all types of skirts and dresses – both casual and formal wear – as well as replacing lining, or fitting new lining for your convenience. School skirts can also be adjusted to fit, while any other type of skirt can be converted into an A-line or flared shape as preferred.

Trousers

There’s nothing worse than constantly tripping over your trousers, or wearing the hems into frayed edges because the legs are too long. So, if you need your trousers shortened, just bring them to The Balsini and we’ll pin them and re-hem them to the perfect length.
