A garment that doesn't sit perfectly doesn't mean it's wrong.
At Orlo e Via we alter skirts, dresses and women's formalwear to improve fit, proportions and comfort, respecting the original style and the fabric's characteristics.

We work the waistband and hips to correct a skirt that's too loose or too tight, keeping the original proportions and construction as much as possible.
We adjust the length considering the style, fabric, lining, pleats and slits.
We reduce excess volume by working the seams best suited to the garment's construction.
We can shorten, close, restore or modify the slit when the garment's structure allows it.
We repair or replace side and back zips, choosing a solution consistent with the garment.
We work on short, midi, long, lined, formal and occasion dresses. The new length is set on the garment as worn.
We reduce volume at the most suitable points, without unnecessarily altering the original line.
When the construction allows it, we work the bust, waist and back to improve the fit.
Correcting strap length can reposition the neckline, bodice and fit of the upper part.
We can correct the length or width depending on the dress's structure.
Some models allow the neckline to be corrected or redesigned; feasibility is assessed directly on the garment.
A dress for a wedding, ceremony or important event needs particular attention to proportions. We can work on length, waist, hips, bodice, straps, sleeves, neckline and lining. For garments with lace, embroidery, appliqués or complex structures we carry out a preliminary assessment.
