I’m a foreign woman living in Osaka and looking for a reliable, quality tailor to hem suit pants and sleeves and maybe take in some dresses. I have had a difficult time finding a tailor as many near my office only work with men’s suits. I brought 2 dresses to Hanshin Department store and the tailor didn’t agree with my desire to shorten the hem on a maxi dress or take in the sleeves on another one “because it’s the style to wear them long”. I brought a basic zipper repair on a skirt to my local dry cleaner who has a sign that she does some tailoring and repairs and she said she couldn’t do it. When I asked for a recommended tailor she said she didn’t know any. I’m not looking for a cheap option — I will gladly pay — I just want someone who does quality work and will just do the tailoring without lecturing me on style or be weird about it. I’m not asking for anything bizarre, just some pant and sleeve hems raised.
If you have a recommendation for a women’s clothing tailor I am willing to go anywhere between Osaka Umeda and Kobe Sannomiya.

I very much recommend [Penguin Reform](https://maps.app.goo.gl/KTbCRHwy5S8RL2JfA). They’re amazing, not that expensive (depending on the service) and accessible, located on Amemura.
Have been there many times for hem and waist fittings!
I think this place in the Whity underground mall will do whatever you ask.
