Proportionate Sleeve & Inseam Breaks
Tailored cuffs reveal precisely 1/4" to 1/2" of dress shirt or fall with clean no-break or slight-break hems.
Hand-Finished Seam Integrity
Original hemlines preserved on designer selvedge denim and Italian worsted wools with reinforced blind stitching.
"Chi made my daughter's prom dress fit like a royal dream! She altered the multi-layer satin hem and reinforced the corset bodice with so much care. Boise's best seamstress by far!"
"Chi created matching vests and custom silk bowties for all 6 of my groomsmen, plus tailored my wedding tuxedo. Everyone complimented the clean fit on our big day. Absolutely outstanding!"
