Make your prom night unforgettable with a dress that fits perfectly. Professional hemming, taking in, strap adjustments, and restyling for high school dances and formal events at Foothills Tailor.
Trusted by Fort Collins clients for alterations and embroidery.
Whether you want floor-length elegance or a shorter cocktail style, we hem your prom dress to the perfect length for your shoes and height.
Most off-the-rack prom dresses run large. We take in the bust, waist, and hips so the dress hugs your figure comfortably and securely.
Fix slipping straps, convert halter to strapless, add a modesty panel, or adjust the back — we customize for comfort and confidence on the dance floor.
Want to add a slit, close one up, or adjust the height? We modify the side details to match your comfort level and personal style.
No strapless bra needed. We add built-in cups, boning, or grip tape to keep everything in place so you can dance with confidence.
Prom is next week and something doesn’t fit? We offer rush service for urgent alterations. Call us and we’ll work it out.
How It Works
We recommend coming in 2–4 weeks before prom, but we can handle rush jobs too. Bring your shoes!
Call, text, or stop by. Bring your dress and the shoes you’ll wear to prom for accurate length measurements.
We’ll have you try the dress on, discuss what needs changing, pin everything in place, and give you a clear price.
Most prom alterations are completed in 3–5 days. Rush service available if your event is sooner.
Come back, try it on, and make sure everything is perfect. You’ll leave feeling confident and prom-ready.
