What a tailor can do for you
A tailor repairs, alters and makes. Repairs include replacing a zip, closing a tear or renewing a lining. Alterations include hemming trousers, taking in a jacket or taking in a dress.
Made to measure is the third craft: a suit, dress or coat made for you from the pattern up. You can read more about that on the page Made to measure clothing Amsterdam. Leather, bags and shoes also come through the workshop, and cleaning is available through our dry cleaning service.
A tailor near you
A tailor nearby saves you hauling clothes across town. From the Dapperbuurt and the Oosterparkbuurt it is a few minutes on foot to Wagenaarstraat. From the Indische Buurt and the Transvaalbuurt it is a short bike ride. Watergraafsmeer and Oostpoort are 5 to 10 minutes by bike.
Many customers combine it with the Dappermarkt or some shopping at Oostpoort. Bring in your clothes, do your shopping and collect them a few days later.
From Elie Saab to Wagenaarstraat
Pierre Hassan spent 5 years in the atelier of Elie Saab, where couture gowns are made by hand. He brings that precision to Amsterdam East, whether it is an evening dress or a pair of jeans with a worn out crotch.
As a garment maker in Amsterdam he sees a piece of clothing as a whole: the cut, the fabric, the finish. That is why a repair disappears into the garment and an altered coat fits as if it were made that way.
Suits, jackets and dresses
You can tell a well fitting suit by the shoulders and the waist. We take in jackets, shorten sleeves while keeping the buttonholes and bring trousers to the right length. Wedding suits and suits for a special day are fitted with extra care, with a fitting beforehand.
Dresses for a wedding, gala or party can be taken in, shortened or given a new fastening. For wedding dresses there is a separate page: Wedding dress and evening gown alterations.

Do I need to make an appointment?
For a quick question or a repair you can simply drop by. For a fitting, a suit or a bigger project, a message via WhatsApp is helpful, so you know there is time set aside for you. Send a photo straight away and we will take a look before you arrive.
How much does a tailor cost?
That depends on the job. Every repair and alteration is a custom job: a seam is something different from a hem, a zip or taking in a jacket. Made to measure work is discussed in person. You hear the price in the workshop before we start, with no surprises, or you send a photo via WhatsApp and we take a look first.
Is there a tailor near the Dappermarkt?
Yes, Small Couture is at Wagenaarstraat 209, around the corner from the Dappermarkt and the Oosterpark. From the Dapperbuurt, Oosterparkbuurt and Indische Buurt it is a few minutes on foot or by bike. From Watergraafsmeer, Oostpoort and the Transvaalbuurt you are also here in no time.
What is the difference between a tailor and a pattern cutter?
A pattern cutter makes the pattern and cuts the fabric, a tailor assembles the garment and adjusts it. Pierre Hassan is both: trained as a fashion designer and pattern cutter, with years of experience as a tailor. That is why he can make a suit to measure as well as alter an existing suit so it fits like bespoke.

Today I went to this shop and I needed to make some adjustments for my pants. Although there were other clients as well, yet he patiently measured what was needed and it was ready very quick. The price was a little bit higher than usual tailors, but if you are looking for a good quality, this is the right place to go.
