What do dressmaker services include?

Dressmakers make or alter all types of womenswear, from everyday trousers to outfits for special occasions. A dressmaker usually specialises in dresses, such as summer dresses, prom dresses, and bridal gowns. Some dressmakers also work on menswear and childrenswear.  

Our platform connects you with custom dressmaking, dress alterations, and clothing repair services. Dressmakers can assist you with the following tasks. 

Bespoke dressmaking 

Recreate a favourite dress you no longer have or have a bespoke dress perfect for your shape and style. Dressmakers can sketch up an original design for you, or take inspiration from a photograph or existing garment. 

Dressmakers can make bespoke pieces, such as skirts, summer dresses, ball gowns, and costumes. If you’re looking for unique t-shirts to sell or to give as gifts to family, you can also hire a Tasker to print your designs onto t-shirts. 

Dress alteration 

Dress alteration ensures your clothes look and fit just the way you like it. A dressmaker can sew sleeves onto a maxi dress, tighten a dress around the waist, put a zip onto a dress, or adjust the length of your trousers. Have you found your dream prom dress online but the bust is a little too showy? No problem! Your seamstress can fix that up for you as well, by shortening the straps or stitching in between to close the gap. You can even have your gown dry cleaned before your special event. Our platform lets you get anything done! 

Wedding dress alteration 

If you need a last-minute wedding dress or bridal wear alterations, Airtasker is here to help! Put up a task to find nearby dressmakers who can alter your dress even at short notice. Whether you have a wedding dress that doesn’t fit quite right or a vintage wedding dress that needs a bit of restyling, Taskers can help you out.  

Our platform connects you with dressmakers who work with made to measure wedding dresses, mother of the bride outfits, and bridesmaid dresses. We’ll even help you find experts who can plan your wedding, prepare the wedding menu, and photograph your beautiful wedding day! 

Dress repair 

Book same-day clothing repair for your outfit emergency, or fix up a favourite shirt you haven’t worn in a while. Dressmakers can repair any clothing issue, from fixing holes in trousers to replacing broken zips. Taskers can also stitch up the lining of a dress or sew buttons onto a polo shirt. 

Sewing lessons

Airtasker helps you find sewing experts who can share their expertise and teach you basic sewing skills.

I need some stylish and flattering dresses/outfits made for formal and church occasions. I'm 33 and love design and quality clothing but am a size 20 and unfortunately have out of proportion upper arms that make it vv difficult to buy ready made clothes! In particular I'm after a navy dress made asap with scallop detail hem and sleeves... possibly out of a crepe or stretch suiting.

I'm looking for a dress maker for my mother. She needs a dress for my wedding. Her health is not the best and has difficulty leaving the house, so if someone would be able to meet her and my sister at her home to take measurements and discuss designs that would be best. I have set the amount at $700 but I understand that an exact price won't be confirmed until measurements and materials have been selected. - Due date: Needs to be done on Friday, 1 September 2023

Glen Waverley VIC 3150, Australia

So this is a long shot but we are desperate, I’m currently needing a wedding dress for a tv show. As everything is shut and I’ll be leaving to Sydney in a few weeks, maybe even just under three weeks. We are reaching out to people who are willing to alter this dress in very little time, for a budget of 1800. The dress costs 800 so we would have 1000 left, I know covid is making things impossible at the moment but I need someone to meet me in order to alter it on me before I leave so I thought I’d give it a go. Attached is the dress I’m after, I haven’t ordered it yet as I’m not sure which size I’d be after incase we need extra material and Id need to order it in a larger size. I would need to alter the neck line to make it more of a plunging V, need the sleeves shorter and maybe the tiniest bit raised on the shoulder part as I hate tightness on my arms, also maybe less puff in the skirt.
