Dinner Suit Alterations Services in London
A tuxedo should fit more precisely than a regular suit, with a sleek, formal silhouette.
1. Jacket Alterations
  • Sleeve Length – Should end just above the wrist bone to show ¼ to ½ inch of shirt cuff (critical for a tuxedo). 
  • Waist Suppression – The jacket should contour slightly to your torso without pulling. 
  • Back Seam Adjustment – Eliminate excess fabric for a clean drape. 
  • Shoulders – Avoid alterations here unless absolutely necessary (expensive and risky). 
2. Trousers Alterations 
  • No Break Hem – Tuxedo pants should have a slight or no break, hovering just above the shoe. 
  • Satin Stripe Alignment – Ensure the satin side stripe sits straight (not twisted). 
  • Waist & Seat Fit – Should sit comfortably without sagging or pulling. 
  • Tapering (Optional) – For a modern look, slightly taper the legs (but keep a classic drape).
3. Special Considerations 
  • Vents  – Most tuxedos come unvented (no back vent) for a cleaner look. Avoid adding one. 
  • Buttons – If single-button, ensure it sits snugly at the natural waist. 
  • Cummerbund/High -Waist Pants – Make sure trousers sit high enough to avoid gaps when wearing a cummerbund.
