Wardrobe Restyling

Valet Collection

Suit Tapering

Express Turnaround

Benefit Info

Handed Over at Home

Put a pin or a chalk line where you want the new length, write what needs doing, and leave the garment at your door or with your helper in any thirty minute window. The finished piece comes back to the same spot.

The Lakes is low rise: villas and townhouses grouped around water, with no concierge desk in sight. That makes your own front step the handover point. Leave the bag out, ask your housekeeper to meet the driver, or come to the gate yourself in the half hour you booked.

Benefit Info

Every Bag Opened First

Each job has a published price. A trouser hem or waist change is AED 40, a jacket sleeve from the cuff AED 55, and a full two-piece suit resize AED 145. If a fix is not possible, for instance no spare fabric in a hem, we tell you first.

Nothing from The Lakes goes into a wash unsorted. Whites are separated from colours and fragile fabrics from hard wearing ones. Sunscreen on a rash vest, turf on golf trousers or mango on a toddler top is tackled before the clean, and silk or lace goes through alone.

Benefit Info

A Day, Door to Door

Specialized tailoring for satin, silk, lace, and heavily beaded evening gowns in The Lakes.

Picked up Tuesday, returned Wednesday is the usual pattern for The Lakes. Pressing or dry cleaning requested before 12 noon can often come home the same night. Big duvets run to 24 to 48 hours, because the inside has to be fully dry.

Benefit Info

YKK Hardware Only

We replace zippers and hooks with premium, durable fasteners in The Lakes.

Every zipper replacement uses original YKK metal or nylon tracks to guarantee smooth sliding and longevity in The Lakes.

Benefit Info

Wardrobe Restyling

Our master tailors in The Lakes can breathe new life into older garments, transforming their silhouette to match current fashion trends perfectly.

Benefit Info

Valet Collection

Seamless pickup and drop-off directly to your door anywhere in The Lakes.

You don't need to visit a tailor shop. We provide direct valet collection across The Lakes, altering and returning your garments ready to wear.

Benefit Info

Suit Tapering

Expert adjustments for jackets and trousers to achieve a modern, slim fit in The Lakes.

We meticulously taper sleeves and pant legs to give your older suits a sharp, contemporary silhouette in The Lakes.

Benefit Info

Express Turnaround

Need a dress hemmed or a zipper replaced overnight? We prioritize urgent requests for next-day readiness in The Lakes.

Community Trust

The nearest tailor is a drive and a parking hunt away. Pin the hem at home in The Lakes and let the driver do the running.

We have built a strong reputation across The Lakes for delivering premium, reliable, and hassle-free garment care.

Thousands of residents and professionals trust us with their wardrobes daily because we guarantee pristine quality, strict turnarounds, and a localized logistics team that knows your neighborhood inside and out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most jobs come back within 24 hours of pickup. Hems, waists, zips and buttons are routine, while a full suit resize or embroidered abaya takes extra care, so mention any event date when you book. The work returns on hangers to the door it left from.

  • Pickup from the step, gate or your helper.
  • A WhatsApp message when it is on the way back.

Pin or chalk the length while wearing the shoes you will use. Fold the hem up to where it looks right, fix it with a safety pin, and leave it pinned in the bag. Alternatively, send a garment that already fits well and we will copy its measurements.

  • Prefer a fitting at home? A home fitting visit is AED 75.
  • Write any notes in the chat, such as half an inch shorter.

A plain hem is AED 40, and most everyday jobs match it. Waist changes, trouser zips and sleeve shortening on shirts are all AED 40. Bigger work on jackets and suits costs more, and every price is listed so you know the total before the tailor starts.

  • Denim zip AED 55, jacket sleeve from cuff AED 55.
  • Two-piece suit resize AED 145, single button AED 15.
  • All rates: the Laundrykhalas price list.

Yes, if the hem has spare fabric folded inside. Most school skirts and trousers are made with extra length for this, and we check how much is available before starting. Send it with your next pickup and we will confirm by WhatsApp what can be done.

Yes, embroidered or lace hems are shortened with the trim kept intact. The tailor removes the extra length above the decoration and reattaches it, so the finish looks the same as before. Plain abayas and kanduras are simpler and cost less.

  • Plain abaya or kandura length AED 40.
  • Abaya with embroidery or lace AED 55.
  • Loose stones or crystals reattached for AED 55.

Yes, dresses can be taken in, shortened or have straps adjusted. Tell us the date when you book so the work is planned in time, and pin the fit if you can. Evening gowns, beaded hems and chiffon layers take more handwork and are priced accordingly.

Yes, the nearby apartment communities book tailoring the same way. Prices and the thirty minute window are the same, and pickup and delivery stay free for every order, however small it is. In apartment towers the garments are usually left with reception rather than at a door.

Yes, one driver can take both in the same trip. List everything in your WhatsApp, and trousers to hem, shirts to press and shoes to clean leave your villa together. Each item keeps its own price, and collection and return stay free whatever the total comes to.
