At OpenWardrobe, we believe in making the most out of the clothes you already own. Our goal has always been to help you unlock the full potential of your wardrobe, and now we’re taking that mission a step further with the launch of our new Alterations & Repairs service! This service is designed to help you achieve a perfect fit, extend the life of your favorite pieces, and practice mindful fashion. Here’s why we’re excited to introduce Alterations & Repairs—and why we think you’ll love it too.

1. The Power of a Perfect Fit

Fit is everything when it comes to style. Even the most beautiful piece of clothing can look unflattering if it doesn’t fit just right. But a perfectly tailored garment? It’s transformative. Here’s how our Alterations & Repairs service can help you achieve that:

• Personalized Adjustments: Our skilled tailors will work with you to customize each garment to your body, whether it’s hemming a pair of pants, taking in a dress, or adjusting sleeve lengths. We want every piece you own to fit you like it was made just for you.
• Enhanced Comfort and Confidence: When clothes fit well, they feel better, too. A waistband that doesn’t dig in, sleeves that hit at the right spot, and pants that fall just so can make you feel confident and comfortable all day long. Alterations allow you to get the perfect fit, which means you can feel at ease while looking stylish.

The perfect fit can make any garment look and feel more expensive, and it allows you to express your unique style without compromise. By adjusting pieces to suit you, you’re not only upgrading your wardrobe—you’re investing in yourself.

2. Extending the Life of Your Wardrobe

Clothing waste is a significant issue, with millions of tons of textile waste ending up in landfills each year. By making minor repairs or adjustments, we can help reduce the impact on the environment, one garment at a time. Here’s how extending the life of your clothes makes a difference:

• Sustainable Fashion in Action: Every time you repair rather than replace, you’re helping reduce demand for new garments, which lowers the environmental impact associated with production, shipping, and waste. Small fixes, like replacing a zipper, stitching a seam, or repairing a tear, can extend a garment’s life by years.
• Preserving Your Favorites: Have a beloved top with a tear, or jeans that fit perfectly but have worn hems? Our service will help you keep these favorites in rotation longer. We’re here to take care of the little details, so you don’t have to say goodbye to the pieces you love.
• An Investment in Quality: Some pieces are worth the extra care—whether it’s a blazer you wear to important meetings, a pair of jeans that just gets you, or a dress you wore on a special occasion. By maintaining quality pieces, you’re maximizing the value of your wardrobe and ensuring your investment lasts.

By extending the lifespan of each item, our Alterations & Repairs service encourages sustainable fashion choices, allowing you to wear your favorite pieces longer and with greater pride.

3. A Step Towards Mindful Consumption

At OpenWardrobe, we’re passionate about helping our users be more intentional with their fashion choices. Launching Alterations & Repairs is part of that mission, offering a service that aligns with mindful consumption values:

• Reimagine and Revitalize: Sometimes, a garment doesn’t need to be replaced—just reimagined. A pair of pants you rarely wear could become your favorite pair with a few adjustments, or a dress might gain new life as a tailored top. Our service can help you see your wardrobe in new ways and get creative with what you already own.
• Build a Wardrobe You Love: When each piece in your closet feels like it was made for you, you’ll find yourself more satisfied with what you own. Alterations and repairs help you build a wardrobe that fits your lifestyle, preferences, and values, so you can enjoy fashion that reflects who you are without always feeling the need to buy more.

4. Accessibility, Convenience, and Quality Assurance

We know that getting alterations and repairs done can sometimes be a hassle, so we’re making the process as easy and seamless as possible. Here’s how we’re elevating the Alterations & Repairs experience:

• Easy Ordering Directly from the App: We’re making it simple to request alterations and repairs right from the OpenWardrobe web app. With just a few taps, you can choose the type of service, provide instructions, and confirm the order.
• Free Shipping Both Ways: We want to make alterations and repairs accessible no matter where you are, so we’re covering the shipping costs both ways. Just send in your item, and we’ll take care of the rest, all from the convenience of your own home.
• Nationwide Service: No matter where you live in the U.S.—from New York to California, Alaska to Hawaii—our Alterations & Repairs service is available to you. Now you can access expert tailoring and repair services wherever you are, without needing to find a local tailor or repair shop.
• Vetted Partner for Consistency: We’ve teamed up with a trusted, vetted partner to ensure that every garment receives top-quality care. With a consistent and reliable standard of service, you can rest assured that each piece will be handled with precision, care, and attention to detail.

With easy access, quality assurance, and free shipping both ways, our Alterations & Repairs service combines convenience with excellence to ensure that your favorite pieces receive the treatment they deserve, no matter where you are.

5. Elevate Your Style Sustainably

With the launch of our Alterations & Repairs service, we’re here to help you elevate your style sustainably, one alteration at a time. You’ll be able to enjoy a wardrobe that’s uniquely you, composed of pieces that fit beautifully, feel comfortable, and reflect your personal style.

As we roll out this new service, we’re excited to work with you to embrace a more mindful, sustainable approach to fashion. Here’s to making the most of what you already own—and looking great while doing it.
