A Cut Above

hen my neighbor, the former fashion stylist Charmaine Burden told me she was starting a New York City-based on-demand tailoring service called Hello Tailor that would make house calls for alterations, I told her she was insane. Now I’m a devoted client and wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else to have clothes altered. In addition to basic requests such as hemming or taking in pants and fitting jackets, Charmaine and her team of master tailors can recut, refit, and basically reimagine any item of clothing. Appointments are booked online, the tailor comes to you, and all work is hand delivered in chic reusable packaging within days. And the price is right.
