Altered Ego

CLOSING

Altered Ego is closing permanently. We are still able to take in alterations but on a first come first serve basis. We still highly encourage scheduling an appointment to have your items fitted. We can take walk in’s if our schedule allows. Payment for services is due when items are dropped off and please pick up items promptly when service is completed.

Call (208) 596-4017 to schedule an appointment. Thank you!

Alterations

You and your garments are unique, and so are the alterations that need to be done to them.

  • Our alterations are based on an hourly rate of $50-65.  
  • To get a more accurate estimate, please schedule an appointment for a complementary 15 minute fitting.  
  • Our typical turn around is 2-3 weeks. 

Bridal

  • We book up very quickly so call us as soon as possible to schedule your first fitting.
  • Your first fitting should be 12 weeks before you leave for your wedding. We recommend scheduling your appointment as soon as you order your dress.
  • The first half hour of every bridal fitting is free; after that we charge $16.25 for every fifteen minutes of the fitting.
  • Bring the shoes you plan to wear with your dress. We do require that you are wearing your shoes if we need to hem your dress–if you do not have your shoes we will reschedule.
  • If you plan on wearing any special undergarments with your dress e.g., bustier, spanx, petticoat, hosiery, please bring those as well.

Underpinnings

We carry a range of underpinnings, from standard bras to specialty sticky bras. We also have slips, panties, robes and chemises which make beautiful gifts! We are building our inventory to be size and shape inclusive.

Slips are making a comeback! We have had many clients ask us to add lining to their dresses or skirts when the economical answer is to wear a slip. We couldn’t find any in the area so we decided to stock them ourselves. If you question whether or not you need a slip, the answer is always yes. Slips are pretty and practical. Many people choose to sleep in them! We have half slips to full maxi slips.

Boob tape has been in stock for a number of years. Boob tape is a very useful and versatile tool to have in your foundation garment arsenal. If you have a garment that you cannot wear a bra with then boob tape is probably the answer. Come in and ask for ideas.

We have carried Nubras for many years. Nubra is a sticky bra which can be worn with any garment with an open back to give you coverage and control.

We have strapless bras! These bras led the way for us to carry more bra options for our community.
