Start with the care label

Authoritative garment and textile guidance

Alterations and repairs should respect the garment's fiber content, construction, trim, and care instructions. These independent public resources provide useful background; they do not replace an in-person inspection of your garment.

Federal Trade Commission

Understanding clothing care labels

Review the official explanation of washing, drying, ironing, bleaching, and warning instructions.

University of Kentucky

Stain removal for washable fabrics

Use Cooperative Extension guidance and check the garment's care label before treatment.

National Park Service

Care of fragile and historic textiles

Consult preservation guidance when an heirloom or delicate textile may require conservation-level care.

Read the sewn-in label

Fiber, trim, lining, and care instructions can affect what work and pressing methods are appropriate.

Describe prior damage

Share stains, tears, past repairs, fragile areas, or previous treatments before the garment is evaluated.

Keep rare textiles conservative

Historic, heirloom, or highly fragile pieces may need a textile conservator rather than ordinary alteration work.
