Fighting fast fashion: Rockford business wants to alter more than just your clothes

Sarene Alsharif wants you to look good and feel good in your clothes.

Alsharif is CEO and co-founder of Tad More Tailoring and Alterations , a clothing alterations store located at 6116 Mulford Village Drive behind Portillo’s.

Unlike traditional tailoring businesses, you do not have to go to the shop to have alterations made. Instead, you learn how to pin and mark your clothing in the comfort of your home via a video and mail your clothing to Tad More Tailoring, where alterations are made and returned to you in five days.

Tad More Tailoring’s mail-order service through its website allows the business to have a nationwide customer base. So far, the business has racked up more than 200 five-star reviews.

“We do a good job, and we do it quick,” Alsharif said.
