ALSO!
This year has already been unprecedentedly busy. Please plan ahead! You can schedule 30 days from when you would like to come in. If you need items for a specific event, the ideal time to some in is 3-4 weeks before the event. For example - if you have an event July 17th, you should check the schedule mid May to book an appointment for mid June so your items are ready mid July.
Our ability to work in rush jobs (needed in less than our 8 day turn around) will be very limited, as this year is expected again to have a very busy wedding season.

Military uniforms and patches

Replacing and repairing zippers
For zipper repairs - before booking an appointment, please email us a description of the zipper issue, as well as pictures of the inside and outside of the jacket there the zipper is a damaged. We will give you an estimate prior to booking an appointment so you can decide ahead of time if zipper replacement is worth doing.
We do not work on bridal gowns, nor socialwear garments that have excessive glitter, beading, lace, or corsetry.
Prom dresses require pre-approval before scheduling. Please email us with pictures and a description of what you would like altered before you proceed to schedule an appointment.
Any garments that haven't been laundered since they were last worn must be laundered before bringing them in. We reserve the right to refuse service if we determine items have not been laundered.
Any new garments should also be laundered before altering to eliminate shrinkage, especially if there is cotton, linen, or rayon in the fiber content.
Work done on any items that haven't been pre-shrunk cannot be guaranteed.
Polyester garments like bridesmaid's dresses do not need to be dry cleaned beforehand if they are new and have never been worn.
To achieve the most accurate fit, bring any items you plan to wear with your garment. For instance, to fit hems, bring the shoes you plan to wear; for dresses, bring any undergarments,
or for fitting a suit jacket, bring a dress shirt.
If you have a garment for a specific event, we will not to start the alterations process more than 3-4 weeks before the event. If the alterations are completed too far in advance, the garment may have to
re-altered if there is any weight fluctuation. You can and should schedule up to 30 days in advance from when you would like to come in, but the fitting should not be more than 3-4 weeks from when you need to wear the garment.

about
A relatively recent transplant to Rochester, tailor Danni Trester got her start while studying at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. In pursuit of a degree in textile and apparel design, she began working with Darlene Shell, the owner of Altered States Alterations, a master tailor with over 35 years in the industry. After over nine years in Madison, Danni moved back to her hometown of Sheboygan, WI to work and train as a patternmaker at men's shoe company Allen Edmonds. She then transitioned back into tailoring and is now offering services in the Rochester, MN area.

The Trester name has a long history in the tailoring industry. The first Trester's to immigrate to the US from Germany were tailors and master cutters. In the 1880's, the family opened a clothing shop in the downtown district of Sheboygan, WI. Danni is proud to carry on the Trester name in the tailoring tradition. You can view relics of the original Sheboygan business hanging in our shop!
