Alterations for Siesta Key Clients
Siesta Key is about twenty-two miles from the atelier and is reached from the mainland by two bridges — Siesta Drive at the north end and Stickney Point at the south. Both are drawbridges, and both carry a great deal more traffic than they were ever built for.
The mileage here is unremarkable. The bridges are not. Leaving the key at the wrong hour can add half an hour to a journey that ought to take thirty-five minutes, and in season it regularly does.
Book the first appointment of the day
Our first slot is at ten in the morning and, for island clients, it is almost always the right one. Bridge traffic, beach traffic and the lunchtime crawl along the Trail have not started yet, and a fitting that begins calmly goes better than one that begins with an apology. If a garment needs a second try-on later, take the early slot again. It is the single most useful piece of planning advice we give anyone living on a key.

Questions from Siesta Key
What is the best time to come from Siesta Key?
Mid-morning, and earlier in the week if you can manage it. Both bridges open on demand for boat traffic and neither has an alternative route, so a ten o'clock appointment is worth considerably more than it looks on a map.
What do you most often alter for clients here?
Evening and cocktail dresses, lightweight resort and dinner wear, and men's jackets and trousers for the same occasions. Straps, hems, waist shaping and bust adjustment make up most of it.
