First-day-of-school outfits altered in Berlin-Treptow
Updated: September 2026
The shirt too long, the trousers slipping, the dress trailing — children's clothing is rarely cut for the first day of school. We shorten and adjust, happily leaving hem allowance to grow into. And if the parents have something smart that needs sorting too: just bring it along.

Frequently asked
Can you hem children's clothes so there's room to grow?
Yes. Where the fabric allows, we set the hem so it can be let out again later. We discuss that briefly at drop-off at Baumschulenstraße 35.
How quickly can you do it before the school year starts?
Usually one to three working days. Around the start of term in August and September it gets busy — come a week ahead if you can, express by arrangement.
What does fitting a school outfit cost?
Trouser hemming from €12, dress hems from €18, small jobs like straps or buttons less. We give you the exact price right at drop-off in Berlin.
