We all love a well-placed cuff, but sometimes hemming your pants (or dress or skirt or whatever) is the way to go, especially for life-long members of the shorty squad.

Hemming options

  • Basic hem: Any length adjustment, garment type, or fabric adjusted to the length you want.

  • Invisible hem: Hemming that, like the name implies, isn’t visible from the outside of the garment (some dress pants and skirts have this seamless look)

  • Denim hem: Retain the original hem on your jeans (typically a faded and wavy look and visible topstitching). Don’t care about the look? As long as you don’t have a super heavy-weight fabric, go ahead and choose a basic hem instead.

  • Multi-layer hem: Pants, dresses, or skirts with a lining need both layers hemmed appropriately.

  • Decorative hem: Items with decorative hems—especially lace, beadwork, or embroidery—take extra time and expertise to hem correctly.
