Atelier Fejzuli

A Tailoring Studio in Zurich Oerlikon

Atelier Fejzuli is a tailoring studio at Hagenholzstrasse 84 in Zurich Oerlikon, run by Florim Fejzuli. He writes that he has worked there since 2003 as a trained ladies' and men's tailor, and that his offer covers all tailoring work, from everyday alterations to made-to-measure garments. For a wedding, the relevant part is the made-to-measure side: the site names wedding dresses, tuxedos and a gala wardrobe among the pieces he makes. This is a tailor rather than a bridal shop with racks of gowns to try on, and it suits a couple who already know what they want made or adjusted.

The site is published in both German and English, which is unusual for a small Zurich alteration shop and makes it easy for an English-speaking couple to see the services, the hours and the prices before getting in touch.

Wedding Dresses, Tuxedos and Made-to-Measure Work

The page states the offer in one line: "Whether it's your gala wardrobe, a wedding dress, a tuxedo or a tailor-made garment: I will tailor-make your ideas and suggestions for you." The emphasis is on the client's ideas. The page does not describe a house style or a collection, and it does not show a gallery of finished wedding pieces, so a couple should arrive with a clear picture of the design, images or a garment to work from.

For this kind of work the studio asks for an appointment. The page recommends booking for special requests, such as measurements for a festive wardrobe or a consultation, and says that a consultation, fitting or measurement takes 30 minutes. Bookings go through an appointment calendar on the site. Fejzuli also writes that he makes sure appointments are kept on time and that he treats all fabrics with great care, making every request to measure. The section on fittings and custom-made pieces closes with an invitation to book right away and a promise that he will take time for the request, and the studio sums itself up under the heading "High-quality craftsmanship for the joy of clothing & fashion." A bride who has bought a gown elsewhere can also bring it here for fitting, since the studio's alteration work covers taking in, letting out, shortening and lengthening.

What the page does not say is just as important for wedding planning. It gives no price for a made-to-measure wedding dress or tuxedo, no lead time, and no indication of how many fittings a custom piece needs. It does not say whether fabric is sourced by the studio or brought by the client. Those are the first questions to raise at the initial 30-minute appointment.

Walk-In Alterations

The larger part of the studio's day is alterations, and those need no appointment. The page invites clients to bring clothes in during opening hours for shortening, lengthening, taking in or letting out, sewing on buttons or fitting a new zipper. For a wedding party this is practical: a groomsman's trousers, a guest's jacket sleeves or a shirt that needs taking in can be dropped off without booking.

The Published Price List

Unusually, the studio publishes prices, all in Swiss francs including 8.1 percent VAT. For trousers, widening or narrowing the waistband is 38, shortening is 32.50, narrowing the foot (with or without turn-up) is 65, and a new zipper including material is 43. Jeans are 32.50 to shorten, or 42 with the original hem. A skirt taken in or let out at the sides with waistband is 49. For a jacket (veston), sleeves shorter or longer cost 68, sides narrower or wider 88, and shortening the jacket 84.50. Shirt sleeves shortened without a slit cost 28.50, with a cuff 44, and narrowing the sides 48. Leather clothing and other work are charged by time at 106 per hour, and other services are quoted on request.

These are alteration prices. They show how the studio charges, but they are not a guide to the cost of a made-to-measure wedding dress or tuxedo, which the page leaves to the consultation.

Cleaning and Pressing

The studio also runs a textile cleaning service for shirts and trousers. The page is clear that this is not dry cleaning but a professional laundry service with careful handling and expert ironing included. Separately, Fejzuli writes that the studio serves as a collection point for dry cleaning. For a groom who wants his shirts washed and pressed before the day, or a suit sent for dry cleaning afterward, that can all be handled at the same counter.

Opening Hours and Contact

The studio is open Monday and Tuesday from 8.30 a.m. to 12 noon; Wednesday and Thursday from 8.30 a.m. to 12 noon and 1.30 p.m. to 6.30 p.m.; Friday from 8.30 a.m. to 12 noon and 2 p.m. to 6.30 p.m.; and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday and Tuesday afternoons are closed, which matters if you are planning a fitting around a short stay in Zurich. The phone number is +41 (0)43 333 40 08 and the email is kontakt@atelier-fejzuli.ch, and there is a general contact form alongside the appointment calendar.

What the Site Does Not Settle

Several practical points stay open. The site gives no directions, no public transport details and no parking information, only the Oerlikon address. It does not say whether consultations are held in English, even though the site itself has an English version. It offers no prices, timelines or fitting schedule for made-to-measure wedding garments, and it shows no examples of past wedding work. It also says nothing about remote measurement or fittings, so a couple who live abroad should ask how many visits a commission needs before planning travel around it.

Who It Suits

Atelier Fejzuli suits a couple in or near Zurich who want a wedding dress, a tuxedo or a gala outfit made to their own design by a trained tailor, and who value being able to see alteration prices up front. It also works for the wider wedding party's alterations, with no booking needed for simple jobs. It is not the place to browse bridal gowns or get design inspiration, and a couple flying in for the wedding will need to allow time in Zurich for measurements and fittings, since the page makes no provision for work at a distance.
