Blazer & Suit
Alterations
Precision tailoring for blazers, business jackets and full suits in Singapore.
What We Can Alter
Five alterations,
one appointment
The jacket is the most structured garment in your wardrobe. We treat every alteration with the precision it requires.
Length Adjustment
Sleeve Shortening
We shorten jacket sleeves to show the correct amount of shirt cuff — one of the most visible alterations on a blazer, and among the most impactful for overall presentation.
Silhouette Shaping
Body Tapering
Side seams taken in to create a more defined silhouette. Ideal for off-the-rack jackets that fit at the shoulders but feel boxy through the chest and waist.
Structural Rework
Shoulder Adjustment
The most involved alteration on a structured jacket — this work rebuilds the shoulder line for a correct fit across the back, chest, and armhole. Priced accordingly.
Hem Shortening
Jacket Length
We shorten the jacket body where needed, preserving existing pocket placement and lining attachment. Requires careful re-finishing at the hem.
Button & Interior
Lining & Details
Button repositioning, lining repairs and replacements, seam reinforcement — the finishing details that define a well-maintained jacket.
Client Voices
What our clients

★★★★★
I appreciate how meticulous Hui Ling is in her work. Went over to have my outerwear altered and it wasn't so straight forward due to the shape. She asked me which I would prefer and also advised which would work best based on my preference. I also appreciate how she ensured that I'd receive it in time for my trip. Highly recommended. Thanks so much, Hui Ling!

Decided to give Stitch and Steam a shot at altering 3 of my men's long sleeve formal shirt and Hui Ling delivered! The once baggy and unfitting shirts were given a new chance to be part of my wardrobe again as now they fit my body nicely. Hui Ling was very friendly and professional throughout the entire process. 10/10 would recommend for anyone who wants to give their shirts a new life!

Huiling is really friendly & attention to detail. The overall experience was pleasant. Also, the workmanship was extremely well done, I'll be back for another alteration soon enough! 😊

Before You Visit
Tips for a
better appointment
- 1
Always wear the shirt or blouse you intend to pair with the jacket — it directly affects how the collar sits and where the sleeves should fall.
- 2
For a full suit, bring both the jacket and trousers. We align overall proportions and ensure the whole look is balanced.
- 3
If the jacket fits well at the shoulders, most other fit issues are straightforward to correct. Shoulder alterations are the most involved and expensive.
- 4
Designer or fully-canvassed blazers should be mentioned when booking — they require more time and specialist care to alter without compromising their structure.
