According to their sign, Brunswick Alterations is adept at not just your basic coat, pants/trousers…read moreand formalwear adjustment needs, but they also do "female slimming garments". I'm going to interpret that as corsets. So, they do corsets. Unlike the chain stores that have been dominating the clothing alterations market in recent years, the service at Brunswick Alterations is personable and practical. The staff will patiently explain the limitations in what can and can't be done. It's also very reasonably priced, although I've never had anything too complicated or high end done. They're also relatively fast. Brunswick Alterations is definitely worth a look in for all your clothing adjustment needs.
