Tailored By Design – Proudly Serving Austin with Alerations, Tailoring, and Sewing Services Since 2001

Tailored by Design is a small local business that has been serving the Austin community with their sewing and alternation needs since 2001. With over 35 years of sewing and alteration experience, the owner and operator, Dideh, has always been passionate about making each garment fit perfectly right and tailored to each individual. Attention to details, decades of experience working with all fabrics, fit and apparel trends, deep knowledge of how each item of clothing is supposed to fit each body type, and quality of work distinguish the master tailor Dideh’s work products.

We understand that cost of alterations could sometimes be a concern. That is why we focus on providing great value to our customers while remaining sensitive to their budget. Depending on the garment and fabric type, the extent of alterations needed, and the details of the work required, sometimes it could take considerable time to achieve that perfect fit. In most cases, we are able to and will provide upfront cost to you. We will explain the work we propose to do. However, we will also work with you and your budget to balance the cost with great results and value of what you receive. Our ultimate goal is to have you leave happy, look your best, and come back to visit us again!

Men, Women, Children, Commercial, Wedding & Bridal, Formal, Custom Dresses and Gowns, and Casual Wear

Whether it is your special wedding day that you may have imagined for years and planned for months, attending a special occasion in a gown or beautiful dress or tuxedo, whether you often or occasionally wear formal dresses or gowns, formal business attire, classic pin-striped or modern suits and tuxedos, prefer to sport that business casual look, brazers and jackets, or simply prefer to wear blue jeans, capris pants, shorts or skirts, you need it to fit perfectly. Since 2001, Austin's men and women of all shapes and sizes have trusted Tailored by Design to get their clothes looking and feeling just right for them and their families. Our experienced master tailor and owner, Dideh, is always happy to do multiple fittings and consultations to ensure that you leave with a piece of apparel that fits perfectly.

We invite you to please come and see us the next time you have found that perfect wedding dress, formal gown or party dress, tuxedo, suit, blazer, trousers, pants, button down business shirt or blouse, or whatever that is just a little too tight, too loose, too short in the arm, too long in the leg, or just not quite your own.

If you are responsible for outfitting a uniformed workforce, our commercial tailoring service makes it easy for you to get your employees looking sharp and professional too. Please see our Commercial page for details.

   My bridesmaids dress came in 1 week before I had to leave to go to the wedding. I was so nervous that it wasn’t going to be ready in time, especially since dress alterations weeks to complete. Dideh went above and beyond to get it finished within a few days before my trip, and she even had it pressed so it was ready to go. I would highly recommend for quality alterations and quality service, and I will be coming back here for all of my alterations!

Thank you so much for taking care of me, Dideh!

   Yes - I had a pair of pants that had a faulty zipper- she added a strong zipper and I can wear my pants now. So I’m happy

   Excellent customer service & straightforward pricing. I took my Vintage Leather Bomber jacket in for some updates (those padded shoulders  ) &  she suggested a couple of other things that could be done to make it even better. So happy I went in ! It looks amazing & the work is impeccable!
Definitely recommend!!

   Highly recommend! Dideh does an exceptional job and is very fast. Alterations are fairly expensive, but worth it for the high-quality. :)

   Ms. Diedeh has been in this location for 20 years performing high quality tailoring and design of clothes.  It was a pleasure working with her on my most recent project, and I highly recommend her skills and professionalism.

   Tailored By Design was able to hem to perfection my bridesmaid dress that was too long and cut really unevenly. Even in busy wedding season, she delivered a week ahead of her original estimated date. It wasn't cheap, but it was well done and efficient and I would recommend.
