The Art of the Perfect Fit: Custom Couture Alterations
Where Technical Mastery Meets Your Personal Style
We believe that you should never have to compromise on how a garment makes you feel. Truly great clothing doesn't just sit on the body; it moves with you, breathes with you, and tells your story. At Lori Kaye Sewing, we offer a "beyond the hem" approach to alterations, treating every piece with the reverence of a custom commission.
Whether it’s a modern luxury find or a treasured estate piece, Lori uses her background in European pattern-making to ensure your wardrobe is a true reflection of your most confident self.

Luxury Evening & Event Wear

Vintage Re-imagining
There is a unique magic in an estate find, but often the proportions of the past don't quite align with the lifestyle of today. Lori’s Vintage Re-imagining service is a collaborative journey.

Modernized Proportions: Softening shoulders, tapering silhouettes, and adjusting hemlines to bring vintage gems into the current fashion landscape.
-
Artful Restoration: Delicately handling inner linings and seams to preserve the soul of a garment for years to come.
The Designer Wardrobe
Your everyday staples should be just as inspiring as your event wear. We provide couture-level tailoring for:
-
Professional Outerwear: Adjusting the drape of luxury coats and blazers for a sharp, custom-tailored finish.
-
Contemporary Ready-to-Wear: Refining the fit of your favorite designer dresses and trousers so they feel made-to-measure.
"I believe every stitch carries a memory. My degree gave me the technical skills, but my 35 years of experience gave me the intuition to know exactly how a fabric should move with you."
As seen on our current portfolio, Lori discovered her love for sewing at age nine. Today, she combines that lifelong passion with professional technical training.
Unlike general tailors, Lori understands how a garment is built from the inside out. When you bring your unique piece, you are receiving Couture Artistry—not just a simple alteration.
