Sophie was so helpful! I dropped my dress off to her place the same day the offer was accepted. She was so thorough and has an amazing attention to details. She even offered advice on how to enhance the dress even more! Her communication was perfect and she got the job done earlier than expected. I could rave on about her but I’ll stop there. Highly recommend!

What do dress alteration services include?

From simple trimmings to extensive adjustments, a dress tailor can take on almost any alteration request to ensure that your dress fits perfectly according to your exact measurements and unique body type. You need not fret over an ill-fitting dress, especially when you're gearing up for a memorable event—be it a school formal, a wedding, or even just a second date! Here are some common alteration services you can find on Airtasker:


Dress reshaping

If you need to adjust the silhouette, change the neckline, or modify the waistline, dress reshaping is the service for you. This can transform the overall look and fit of your garment to better suit your style and body shape and make it feel uniquely yours. A skilled dress tailor can work with the fabric's drape and structure to enhance its flattering features and make sure it complements your figure perfectly.


Dress shortening

Feeling restricted by your floor-length gown, or looking to switch up its length to give it a more versatile look? Consider availing of dress shortening near you. Taskers can expertly cut a dress to align with your preferred length without compromising the original design and proportions. 


Dress repair

From fixing ripped seams to replacing missing beads or buttons, dress repair services can restore your favourite dress to its former glory and get it to look flawless and ready for your next big event. A dress tailor can address any damages or wear-and-tear issues. Repairs also help prolong the lifespan of your dress and preserve its beauty for years to come.


Formal dress alterations

Some ball gowns and evening dresses for formal events come with a hefty price tag, so it's natural to want to make the most of your investment. If your gown feels a bit too snug or your cocktail dress is loose in certain areas, a dress alteration service can come to the rescue. They can also re-strap, re-bead, or even shorten them, giving your dress a fresh look without the expense of buying a new one.

Dress Alternations: take in one dress, and hem the other!

Kingsford NSW, Australia

13th Sep 2022

Dress 1: a long summer dress that needs taking in quite a bit! The upper part is lined, it has a zipper all the way down the back and a pocket I want to keep! Should be a fairly straightforward job for someone with a sewing machine and experience! Dress 2: a burgundy kameez sort of thing with beautiful emboridered details. I'd like to cut off the bottom half and just hem it neatly to make it shirt. Its fully lined and the top layer is a potentially annoying sheer fabric, but beside that a very easy job! - Due date: Flexible
