Koko Atelier - Galway city
Dress alterations in Galway for the fit you intended
The right changes can help a dress sit cleanly through the shoulders, waist and hem without losing its original character. Fabric, lining and construction all influence what is possible.
Personal assessment
Start with the garment and the way you want it to fit
We alter everyday dresses, evening wear and special-occasion garments at our Galway atelier. Bring the dress for an in-person assessment and we will talk through the most suitable options.
Every alteration begins with the garment in front of us. Fabric, seam allowance, lining and original construction affect the available options, so final prices and timing are confirmed after assessment.

Useful answers
Questions before an alteration
Can a lined dress be shortened?
Often yes. We assess the outer fabric, lining and original finish before confirming the work and price.
Can you replace a dress zip?
Zip replacement is available for many dresses. The construction and zip type need to be checked first.
Do you alter evening dresses?
Yes. Evening and occasion wear can be fitted and altered after an in-person assessment.
