alterations shop
Clothing adjustment store
An alterations shop is a business that modifies clothing to fit better or repairs garments.
Services typically include hemming pants, taking in or letting out seams, replacing zippers, and adjusting formal wear.
I took my wedding dress to an alterations shop to have the bodice taken in.
Also called a tailor shop or seamstress shop, though those terms may suggest custom garment creation rather than modifications to existing clothing.
