TILLI repair services for shirts, blouses and T-shirts

Our makers master the sewing techniques needed to restore each garment discreetly and carefully. Here's an overview of TILLI's top repair services:

Repairing small holes and snags
Small holes and snags, common on lightweight T-shirts or shirts, are repaired with discreet sewing techniques, using matching threads to make the repair almost invisible. Our makers adapt to the fabric to ensure a long-lasting, harmonious repair.

Repairing rips / tears on seams
Seams on blouses or shirts can sometimes become brittle, especially at armholes or shoulders. Our makers reinforce these areas, adding extra stitches if necessary, to prevent the rip / tear from getting worse.

Reinforcement or fabric replacement for damaged areas
When an area is more damaged, particularly on a delicate shirt or blouse, our makers can reinforce or replace the fabric with a matching piece. This precision work ensures a discreet repair.

Decorative embroidery to camouflage visible damage
To add a creative touch while camouflaging a hole or rip / tear, our makers can offer decorative embroidery. A small motif or embroidered initial can not only hide the tear, but also bring elegant personalization to your shirt, blouse or t-shirt.

Our tips for caring for your shirts, T-shirts and other tops after repairs

To prevent new snags or rips / tears from forming, here are a few simple tips for caring for your repaired tops:
After a repair, opt for a delicate wash, especially for fragile fabrics like silk. Opt for air-drying to preserve the fibers, and avoid tumble-drying, which can damage the fabric. Finally, iron your garments inside out at a low temperature to protect seams and embroidery.
