How to choose: new, altered or handed in
- Bespoke means the garment is made from scratch: one of the tailors in the centre takes only such orders.
- Alterations and repairs are done by the sewing studios and by the tailors with dry cleaning.
- Bridal and formal wear is mentioned on several cards in the second and the third group.
- This page is a selection: the catalogue holds about a hundred cards in the same category.
The groups are divided by what you want done, because a tailor who makes a suit from scratch and a tailor who shortens a pair of trousers offer two different services. The first group holds the bespoke tailors: in the centre, in Östermalm, on Kungsholmen and in Gärdet. One of them describes itself on its website as a bespoke-only service and so does not alter ready-made garments, while another makes suits, shirts and coats to measure and also takes alterations (the websites, October 2026). In Gärdet there is a ladies' tailor run by a certified master tailor.
The second group is sewing studios whose main work is alterations, repairs and custom sewing. According to their websites this covers everything from shortening sleeves and trouser legs and mending jeans to altering wedding dresses and sewing party wear, and a studio in Vasastan also sews curtains and cushions.
In the third group you hand in clothes for both cleaning and sewing: the tailors in Vasastan and Södermalm have dry cleaning at the same address, and according to the cards and the websites they also take care of shirts, curtains, rugs, leather and suede.
More tailors and sewing studios, including those not listed here, are in the catalogue category Sewing factories & ateliers, and dry cleaners are under Dry Cleaners & Laundry Services. Facts about the city are on the city page, and guides on other topics are gathered under Rating of popular places.
Before you go: opening hours, appointments and fittings
- The tailors with dry cleaning are open Monday to Saturday, until 18:00 or 18:30 on weekdays.
- The sewing studios keep shorter hours: one is open only Tuesday to Thursday from 12:00 to 18:00.
- In the very centre there is a tailor that is open every day of the week.
- Bespoke work and fittings are booked in advance.
Opening hours differ more than you might expect. According to their websites, the three tailors with dry cleaning are open Monday to Friday from 8:00 or 9:00 until 18:00 or 18:30, and on Saturdays until 14:00, 14:30 or 15:00 (October 2026). A sewing studio in Vasastan, on the other hand, is open only Tuesday to Thursday from 12:00 to 18:00, and a studio in Östermalm is open Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 18:00.
If you need help on a Sunday or after work, there is a tailor by Klarabergsgatan in the very centre that is open every day: until 20:00 on weekdays, until 19:00 on Saturdays and from 11:00 to 19:00 on Sundays (the tailor's website, October 2026).
Bespoke work starts with a conversation about fabric and cut, and that is booked in advance. The tailor on Kungsholmen has a button on its website for booking a consultation, and the studio in Östermalm asks customers who want a fitting to book through a form or by phone. The cards mention personal fittings: a bespoke garment is tried on before it is finished.
The hours on the cards may differ from the tailor's own, so check the day's hours on the tailor's website before you go.
Wedding dress, tailcoat or leather: who does what
- Wedding dresses: altered by a sewing studio in Vasastan and made from scratch by the ladies' tailor in Gärdet.
- Tailcoats and dinner jackets: made to measure on Kungsholmen, and dinner jackets are altered in Södermalm.
- Fur, leather and suede: a tailor on Götgatan also alters such garments.
Not every tailor takes every garment and material. A tailor on Götgatan in Södermalm states on its website that it alters women's and men's clothes and also fur, dinner jackets, leather, party dresses, workwear and suede. Wedding dresses are mentioned by several: a studio in Vasastan alters them, a sewing studio on Hornsgatan sews for weddings and parties, and the ladies' tailor in Gärdet makes bridal outfits, party dresses and suits from scratch (the websites, October 2026).
Say already when you call which garment and which material it is and when it has to be ready: then you will know whether the tailor takes the job and whether a fitting is needed.
