About the shop
Fast is only useful if it is also right.
KRT Express Tailor is at 4216 Virginia Beach Boulevard, near Lynnhaven and Independence, and is the shop neighbors point to when someone on Nextdoor asks where to get something altered quickly. 'Express' is the promise; the fit is the reason people come back.
The work covers everyday hems and repairs, suits and formalwear, uniforms, and the last-minute jobs — the interview suit, the prom dress, the pants that have to be ready by Friday.
What we do
Services
Alterations and repairs with a fast turnaround. Call with the garment and your deadline.
Suits and jackets
Sleeves, sides, shoulders and length. A suit that fits changes how you carry yourself.
Wedding and formalwear
Gowns, bridesmaid dresses, tuxedos and prom. Fitted with care, and with the date in mind.
Military and work uniforms
Regulation hems, patches, nametapes and fit for the services, first responders and trades.
Repairs
Zippers, linings, seams, buttons, tears and worn spots. Cheaper than replacing the garment, and often better.
Leather, denim and specialty
Heavier fabrics that need the right machine and the right hand. Call and describe it.
How it works
From the first call to the finished job.
STEP 1
Call about the garment
Describe what it is and what needs to change. You get a sense of cost and turnaround before you come in.
STEP 2
Fitting
Pinned on you, not guessed from a chart. You see the change before it is sewn.
STEP 3
Pick it up, try it on
Every alteration is checked on you before you leave. If it is not right, it gets adjusted.
Good to know
Questions people ask before they call.

Can you do a rush?
Ask. If it can be done in time, the shop will tell you honestly.
Do you alter wedding dresses and formalwear?
Yes — gowns, suits and tuxedos. Book early for wedding season.
Do you do military uniforms?
Yes. Bring the uniform and the regulation you need to meet.
