Stitch & Steam · Singapore
Express
Alterations
Same-day and next-day tailoring in Singapore when you need it fast.
Scope of Express Work
What We Can
do on express
Most standard alteration types are available on an express basis. Very complex restructuring work — bridal gown remodelling, full suit resizing — may not be feasible on a tight timeline. We will always be honest with you upfront.
Pants, Dresses & Skirts
Hemming
Length shortening for most garment types — the most common express request. Available for pants, dresses, and skirts in most fabrics.
Leg & Body Slimming
Tapering
Slimming the leg or body of a garment. Feasible on express for most standard fabrics and constructions.
Taking In or Out
Waist Adjustments
Waistband alterations for pants and skirts — taking in or letting out, subject to existing seam allowance.
Length Adjustment
Sleeve Shortening
Sleeve length adjustments for shirts, blouses, and blazers — one of the faster alterations and well-suited to express timelines.
Simple Fixes
Repairs & Zips
Seam repairs, zip replacements, and simple fixes — typically faster than structural alterations and a good fit for tight deadlines.

are saying
★★★★★
Super professional, kind and fast. The work was completed within a day and the result is beautifully done. I found this place online and I'm so glad I did, the quality and service are truly outstanding.

★★★★★
Found Stitch and Steam by doing a google search near my home and sent them a message via WhatsApp. Received a quick phone call to address my needs for a quick next day turnaround. She had me come over and helped me alter my dress for a next day event. The alterations were perfect, exactly what I needed and were done the next day. I will come back for more items to be done.
— Lisa
★★★★★
It was comfortable going on for fittings and getting my dress altered. It was done within few days which is great. And she ensured I left her place feeling satisfied with her work. I'm glad I sent my dress to her. It was perfectly altered. Very happy
